Introducing the fundamental idea of statistical inferenceThe second edition of Statistics: Unlocking the Power of Data focuses on data analysis. The main goal is that students will be able to gather and analyze data effectively, as well as interpret results. The text uses intuitive methods such as bootstrap intervals and randomization to present the concept of statistical inference. The methods are shown through actual examples and driven by real data. The students utilize statistical software early on in their learning process. Once they have gained an understanding of inference through the randomization methods, the text explains more traditional methods, such as t-tests and chi-square texts. The WileyPLUS Blackboard Card Set for online text access is available with this edition. WileyPLUS is an online teaching and learning environment.
