This book is called Stats: Data and Models by De Veaux, Velleman, and Bock. This book was published by Pearson Education. This book is geared towards the student who wants to study mathematics; data and models.
This book is clear and accessible for the student looking to learn how to read and write about statistical data. Statistics help us understand the world. Math is a discipline that takes hard work and dedication to learn. You use statistics in just about any information gathering moment of your life. This book will help organized and teach you what and how to complete that task.
This book is designed to engage the reader so that they actually read the text. This will hopefully allow me to interpret it in a way that I can reiterate it to you and build some dialog on the work. This book also comes with a CD-Rom that will allow the student to put more effort into learning the techniques.
This book has 31 short, focused chapters. A TI-83/84 Plus or TI-89 calculator is a good tool to have handy when studying math.
If statistics is fun we will soon find out. I hope to get some participation out of these posts.
Statistics is about how to think clearly with data.
Statistics is a way of reasoning. We will learn some tools and methods that will help us learn this way of reasoning. Statistics are calculations made from data. Data are values along with their context.
We will learn to make sense of this complex world by learning the tools and methods of statistics.
So our objectives in this book are to help you develop the insights to think clearly about the questions, use the tools to show what the data are saying, and acquire the skills to tell clearly what it all means.
Statistics is about variation. The situations in the real world is imperfect, everything is moving and changing. No one person is made the same.
Think, show and tell are the three steps to do statistics the right way. Statistics is about getting the reasoning correct more so than the answer
