David S. Moore Livres

With its focus on data analysis, statistical reasoning, and the way statisticians actually work. Introduction to the Practice of Statistics (IPS) helped revolutionize the general statistics class-room. Freed from an overload of computations, students were able to go beyond the raw numbers to see what the data actually meant. In the years since, the IPS data analysis approach has gone from an attractive alternative to the method of choice for most instructors. But the revolution doesn't stop there. Now Introduction to the Practice of Statistics is available in a spectacular new edition.

"For liberal arts students, statistics may seem like a foreign language. By emphasizing concepts and statistical thinking over punching numbers into a calculator, and by focusing on real sources from campaign claims to scientific studies, Statistics: Concepts and Controversies helps students understand just how much statistical analysis has to say about their lives and the world around us. Now, this classic bestseller--the first to feature on David Moore's "data analysis" approach--returns in a thoroughly contemporary new edition, better equipped than ever to provide students with a solid understanding of statistical concepts, an eye for analyzing published data, and an appreciation of statistic's relevance to everyday life."--Publisher's description.
