Statistics

About this book

"Doing statistics for the first time? 'Don't panic', says Fred Coolidge. He shows how statistics needn't be difficult or dull. He likens the role of the statistician to a detective, searching for clues to causation at the scene of a crime. He minimizes the use of formulas, but provides a step-by-step approach to their solution, and includes a glossary for key symbols and terms, and exercises for each chapter." "The book contains a wealth of real-world examples that give students a sense of how the science of statistics works, solves problems, and helps us make informed choices about the world we live in."--Jacket.
