Statistics: Concepts and Controversies
Added for an online school package. This book does require school level permissions to access the online components associated with the text from the publisher’s website. These components include videos, worksheets, and assessments. This is a book about statistical ideas and statistical reasoning. The focus is on discussion and argumentation about the data collected rather than on the mathematical computations. The text is full of exercises, practices, case studies, and examples. They utilize good research and data collecting skills and point students to reliable sources, for example: gapmindertools.org. 642 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
A statistics book for readers interested in ideas rather than technique. It presents, in a non-technical form, statistical concepts as they are applied in public policy, the human sciences, and everyday life. It is designed to give readers critical insight into the uses and misuses of numbers.
