MIND ON STATISTICS is designed to help students learn statistical ideas by
encouraging them to actively think about those ideas. The authors blend the
spirit of statistical literacy (the conceptual development of statistical ideas)
with the statistical methodology taught in the Introductory Statistics course.
By focusing on ideas instead of mathematical formulation, this book generates
student excitement, motivation, and understanding. Using a wide variety of
applications, the book clearly demonstrates the relevance of statistics. As
students master the material, they see how statistics influences their daily
lives. The text also helps students develop statistical intuition and learn how
to interpret the results of statistical studies.
