For algebra-based Introductory Statistics courses.
This text takes a hands-on approach to the introduction of basic
statistical methods and concepts, using a highly interactive method that
promotes active learning and true assimilation of key concepts. Students
are taught to ask "why," thinking like a statistician to find the
logical solution. With its strong emphasis on data analysis, the book
seeks to make students better consumers of statistics and to give them
the skills to understand and interpret statistical results using real
data from newspapers and research journals.
