Moore D.S., McCabe G.P., Craig B. Exploring the Practice of Statistics

W.H. Freeman & Company, 2012. — 920 p. in color. — ISBN: 1464103186, 9781464103186.Statistics is the science of data. Exploring the Practice of Statistics (EPS) is an introductory text based on this principle. We present methods of basic statistics in a way that emphasizes working with data and mastering statistical reasoning. EPS is elementary in mathematical level, but conceptually rich in statistical ideas. After completing a course based on our text, students will be able to think objectively about conclusions drawn from data and to use statistical methods in their own work.
In EPS, we combine attention to basic statistical concepts with a comprehensive presentation of the elementary statistical methods that students will find useful in their work. The philosophy behind EPS is the same as that for Introduction to the Practice of Statistics (IPS), now in its seventh edition. The level is suitable for beginners and there is an overall emphasis on doing statistics rather than just talking about the subject. This hands-on approach makes our course more similar to one on drawing or painting rather than art appreciation.Looking at Data
