"For liberal arts students, statistics may seem like a foreign language. By emphasizing concepts and statistical thinking over punching numbers into a calculator, and by focusing on real sources from campaign claims to scientific studies, Statistics: Concepts and Controversies helps students understand just how much statistical analysis has to say about their lives and the world around us. Now, this classic bestseller--the first to feature on David Moore's "data analysis" approach--returns in a thoroughly contemporary new edition, better equipped than ever to provide students with a solid understanding of statistical concepts, an eye for analyzing published data, and an appreciation of statistic's relevance to everyday life."--Publisher's description.

[This book] is an introduction to statistics for students in two-year and four-year colleges and universities that emphasizes working with data and statistical ideas. It is designed to be accessible to students with limited quantitative background - just "algebra" in the sense of being able to read and use simple equations. The book is usable with almost any level of technology for calculating and graphing - from a simple "two-variables statistics" calculator through a graphing calculator or spreadsheet program through full statistical software.-To the instructor.
