Abstract
:
This book is an introductory text emphasizing inferences, with extensive coverage of data collection and anlysis as needed to evalute the reported results of statistical studies and make good decisions. As in earlier editions, the text stresses the development of statistical thinking, the assessment of credibility and value of the inferences made from data, both by those who consume and by those who produce them. It assumes a mathematical background of basic algebra." -- Preface.
