Jay Devore and Roxy Peck's attractive new text focuses on data analysis, citing
real data in nearly all the examples, as the prime motivation for the study of
statistics. Traditional in structure yet modern in approach, this text guides
students through an intuition-based learning process that stresses the
interpretation and communication of statistical output. Conceptual comprehension
is cemented by the simplicity of notation-frequently substituting words for
symbols. Hands-on activities and "Seeing Statistics" applets in each chapter
allow students to practice statistics firsthand.
