Interactive Statistics (2nd Edition)

New edition of a worktext that stimulates hands-on exploration of statistical concepts and encourages students to take an active part in the learning process in order to develop the skills to design and execute experiments in an undergraudate research class. The nine chapters emphasize data anlysis, use real data in examples and exercises, provide early coverage of sampling and experimental design, and integrate the use of graphing calculators. New material includes two-way ANOVA and the concept of interaction, more details on inference in linear and multiple regression, a chapter on nonparametric procedures, and double the amount of exercises.
