About the Book

This text offers comprehensive coverage of topics in a briefer format (15 rather than 20 chapters). It helps students overcome statistics anxiety through its intuitive, explanatory writing style and use of real-world examples. The authors present statistical formulae both in standard mathematical notation and in everyday language with explanations of why and how formulae are used. In addition, an extensive set of appendices assist students and provide background material and supplemental information on the text.
