Synopsis:

This text focuses on and emphasizes the conceptual, experimental, exploratory and scientific nature of statistical reasoning, using real data throughout. The "World Bank Data Set" provides context and motivation for students, giving them a wealth of examples and exercises. A Minitab Appendix and Minitab exercises in almost every chapter further encourage students to think about concepts of statistics and probability, as well as the quality and usefulness of the data. Part one introduces students to descriptive statistics and concepts of data analysis and graphing data that will be used throughout. Part two includes essential concepts in probability needed in Part three, where a number of formal techniques for statistical inference are presented. This book should be of interest to students taking introductory statistics courses.
