Reseña del editor

This modern book features analysis of data -- often real data -- as the prime motivation to the study of statistics. Traditional in structure but modern in spirit, the book includes real data -- more than in any existing text in virtually all examples and exercises. In addition to standard topics, the authors have interwoven material that reflects current development in statistical analysis (boxplots, stem-and-leaf-displays, etc). The focus is on concepts rather than calculation.
-- Probability material totally rewritten, simplified, and condensed from three chapters to two
-- Sampling and experimentation ideas introduced early in the text
-- Much more emphasis on interpretation of computer output with computation de-emphasized
-- Exploratory data analysis integrated throughout as an investigative tool for inference
-- New and very current, real data introduced throughout
-- Many new exercises -- more than half are new to this edition
-- Prominent attention to P-Values
-- A new Chapter 7, "Sampling Variability and Sampling Distributions"
