About This Book
Statistics: From Data to Decision teaches a modern approach to statistics that places more emphasis on statistical concepts and data analysis than on following recipes for calculations. It begins early on—in Chapter 1 in fact—showing students how to think statistically and setting up the basics of statistical inference. The features of this book grow out of the vigorous changes that have been reshaping the practice and teaching of statistics over the last quarter century. Statistics: From Data to Decision is for instructors who want their students to: • practice a modern, data-analytic approach to statistics • actively participate in the classroom • learn from real data from a wide array of academic fields (because, if you have only pretend data, you can only pretend to analyze it) • understand that statistical analysis is dependent on the method used to collect the data • use technology for data analysis.
