Synopsis:

Canadian authors Jim Stallard and Michelle Boué emphasize that learning statistics extends beyond the classroom to an essential life skill, and want Canadian students to develop a “data habit of mind.” Regardless of their math backgrounds, students will learn how to think about data and how to reason using data. With a clear, unintimidating writing style and carefully chosen pedagogy, this text makes data analysis accessible to all students.
