For courses in introductory statistics.

The art and science of learning from data

Statistics, 5th Edition helps students understand what statistics is all about and learn the right questions to ask when analyzing data, rather than just memorize procedures. It conveys the ideas that have turned statistics into an essential science of modern life, without compromising rigor. Students will stay engaged with the real-world data in the examples and exercises. Based on the authors’ belief that it’s important for students to learn and analyze both quantitative and categorial data, this text pays greater attention to the analysis of proportions than many other introductory statistics texts.
