Understanding Statistics by William Mendenhall Iii
Focuses on data and organization around the theme of making sense of data: generating, organizing, analyzing and presenting data. The approach reflects modern thinking about the purpose of statistics as a discipline concerned with problem solving in the real world. Consequently all aspects of the presentation revolve around the central content of applied statistics, concentrating on making sense of data. Changes in this edition include: reflecting the pervasive "making sense of data" theme; the table of contents, reorganized into four parts - Gathering Data, Summarizing Data, Analyzing Data and Communicating Results; an "Experiences with Real Data" section which has been added to every chapter; many new real data sets in exercises and a data disk; and an increased emphasis on graphical methods of data analysis.
