About this title

Synopsis:

Introductory statistics book for the non–technical person that integrates the traditional foundations of statistical inference with the more modern ideas of data analysis. The book is divided into three parts. Part One is concerned with data in general and with describing groups of numbers. Part Two develops the ideas of randomness, probability, and statistical inference. Part Three moves forward, applying these ideas to more complex data structures and the analysis of relationships.
