Synopsis

The authors encourage an active approach to learning statistics through many in-depth activities that give students the opportunity to test or demonstrate their understanding of statistical concepts. The Second Edition is based on contemporary research on memory and the "testing effect" which requires students to answer questions to facilitate their long-term retention.
