An imaginative introduction to statistics, reorienting the course
towards an understanding of statistical thinking and its meaning
and use in daily life and work. Gudmund Iversen and Mary Gergen
bring their years of experience and insight into teaching the
subject, incorporating such innovations and insights as a sustained
emphasis on the process of statistical analysis and what statistics
can and cannot do as well as careful exposition of the ideas of
developing statistical and graphical literacy. In the spirit of
contemporary pedagogy and by using technology, the authors break
down the traditional barriers of statistical formulas and lengthy
computations encountered by students without strong quantitative
skills. Further, formulas are grouped at the end of each chapter
along with related problems, and, with only algebra as a
prerequisite, the book is ideal for students in the liberal arts
and the behavioural and social sciences.
