Book Description

This is a thorough introduction to fundamental ideas in modern statistics for readers without a calculus background. The only book at this level to discuss modern concepts of hypothesis testing and estimation, it maintains an up-to-date outlook despite being published in 1970. Extensive problem sets and selected answers are provided.
