Förlagets beskrivning
This book gives an imaginative introduction to statistics and reorients the
course toward an understanding of statistical thinking and its meaning and
utility for students in their daily life and careers. It is well-known that
most students enrolled in statistcs courses are under duress, and for these
students lengthy discussions of numerous methods, formulas, and complex
theories are of little value and no meaning. In Statistics: The Conceptual
Approach, Gudmund Iversen and Mary Gergen bring their years of experience and
insight into teaching the subject. Among the many innovations and insights
found in this new text are 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 through the use of technology, this book eliminates
the usual barriers caused by statistical formulas and lengthy computations
encountered by students without strong quantitative skills. Formulas are
grouped at the end of each chapter along with related problems. Statistics: The Conceptual Approach requires only algebra as a prerequisite
and is suitable for students in the liberal arts and the behavioral and social
sciences. This text provides an introduction to statistics and reorients the course
toward an understanding of statistical thinking and its meaning and utility for
students in their daily life and careers. The authors bring their years of
experience and insight into teaching the subject.
