Basic Practice of Statistics Summary

Basic Practice of Statistics by David S. Moore

A defining text in statistics education, The Basic Practice of Statistics puts data analysis at the forefront and begins to develop students' reasoning and judgment about statistical studies. Written by an author team of accomplished leaders in statistics education, it reflects the actual practice of statistics, where data analysis and design of data production join with probability-based inference to form a coherent science of data. The authors' ultimate goal is to equip students to carry out common statistical procedures and to follow statistical reasoning in their fields of study and in their future employment.

Part of the best-selling Moore family of statistics books, Basic Introduction to the Practice of Statistics is designed for a one-semester `introduction to statistics' course and offers a concise, accessible introduction to the subject.
