Material Detail

This text was written for a "terminal" [+]

 introductory class in Statistics suitable students in Business, Communications, Economics, Psychology, Social Science, or liberal arts; that is, this is the first and last class in Statistics for most students who take it. It also covers logic and reasoning at a level suitable for a general education course. Accordingly, the text is not geared toward theory, numerical analysis, or sophisticated formulae; neither does it contain a bestiary of techniques or named probability distributions. Rather, I hope to help students to think logically about quantitative evidence and to translate real-world situations into mathematical questions; and to expose students to a few important statistical and probabilistic concepts and to some of the difficulties, subjective decisions, and pitfalls, in analyzing data and making inferences from numbers. The text develops probability, estimation, and inference using counting arguments: there is no calculus involved.'
