Introduction to the Practice of Statistics

Moore and McCabe's best-selling Introduction to the Practice of Statistics set a new standard for introductory statistics courses by focusing on data analysis, statistical reasoning and the way statistics is used in everyday life. For the first time, students saw clearly that statistics was not just a series of formula-driven exercises, but a powerful tool for understanding the world we live in. Now this groundbreaking textbook has been fully revised and updated to meet the needs of today's students and instructors while retaining its emphasis on working with real data, the core concepts of statistics and the way statistics is actually used in practice.
