About the Book

Introductory Statistics: Exploring the World Through Data helps you learn to think critically with and about data, communicate your findings to others, and evaluate others’ arguments carefully. Crafted by authors who are active in the classroom and in the statistics education community, it combines clear, conversational writing with new and frequent opportunities to apply what you’ve learned. The 4th Edition fully revises end-of-chapter Data Projects, updates technology guides to match current hardware and software, adds hundreds of new exercises and updates previous exercises, and much more.
