Reviews

Published in partnership with the American Statistical Association, this collection of intriguing essays describes important applications of statistics and probability in a wide variety of fields. Instead of teaching methods, the essays illustrate past accomplishments and current uses of statistics and probability. Examples of surveys, questionnaires, experiments, and observational studies are included to help the student better understand the importance of and the influence of statistics. Publisher Review
