Riassunto:

Workshop Statistics emphasizes doing statistics as a way of learning statistics concepts and techniques. It assumes the use of the TI-83 graphing calculator. The "workshop approach" builds upon analysis of genuine data and provides practical experience. Unique in its format, an extensive series of over 90 practical activities and exercises leads students to discover statistical concepts, explore statistical principles, and apply statistical techniques. The book is widely praised as being one of the most innovative introductory texts for learning statistics.
