The Art and Science of Learning from Data
Statistics: The Art and Science of Learning from Data, Fourth
Edition, takes a conceptual approach, helping students understand what
statistics is about and learning the right questions to ask when
analyzing data, rather than just memorizing procedures. This book takes
the ideas that have turned statistics into a central science in modern
life and makes them accessible, without compromising the necessary
rigor. Students will enjoy reading this book, and will stay engaged with
its wide variety of real-world data in the examples and exercises.
The authors believe that it's important for students to learn and
analyze both quantitative and categorical data. As a result, the text
pays greater attention to the analysis of proportions than many other
introductory statistics texts. Concepts are introduced first with
categorical data, and then with quantitative data.
