INVESTIGATING STATISTICAL CONCEPTS, APPLICATIONS, AND METHODS contains a balanced mixture of investigations and exposition. The investigations lead students to explore and discover statistical ideas and techniques, while the exposition explains and reinforces what the investigations are designed to reveal. Many of the investigations ask students to use technology such as statistical software and Java applets. A combination of practice, homework, and application problems emphasize actual studies. The book is intended for a course that provides mathematically inclined students with a data-oriented and conceptually based introduction to the fundamental ideas and techniques of statistics.
