Statistics: Unlocking the Power of Data, 2nd Edition
continues to utilize these intuitive methods like randomization and
bootstrap intervals to introduce the fundamental idea of statistical
inference. These methods are brought to life through authentically
relevant examples, enabled through easy to use statistical software, and
are accessible at very early stages of a course. The program includes
the more traditional methods like t-tests, chi-square texts, etc. but
only after students have developed a strong intuitive understanding of
inference through randomization methods. The focus throughout is on data
analysis and the primary goal is to enable students to effectively
collect data, analyze data, and interpret conclusions drawn from data.
The program is driven by real data and real applications.
