Dalla quarta di copertina

This new version of Statistics: Concepts and Controversies fits the current teaching environment while continuing to present statistics to “nonmathematical” readers as an aid to clear thinking in personal and professional life. With many elementary graphical and numerical techniques to give flesh to ideas and muscle to the reasoning, students learn to think about data by working with data. The textbook is made to teach verbally rather than algebraically, to invite discussion and even argument rather than mere computation. It is organised for systematic study and has abundant exercises, many  of which ask students to offer a discussion or make  a judgment.
