EXCERPT: GENERAL INTRODUCTION Purpose of this book - This book is intended primarily for the educated layman who is not a mathematician and is not interested in becoming a practicing statistician. It is for the layman who must plan, interpret, make decisions, and take action from data--data which are almost never complete, adequate, or altogether trustworthy. This book is in a concept library series. It is intended to impart concepts that map out the main ideas in a technical domain. A technical domain is a body of knowledge and practices that a specialist draws from in solving problems. This book maps major concepts in statistical applications. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
