In this 3rd edition revised text, master expositor Sheldon Ross has
produced a unique work in introductory statistics. The text's main
merits are the clarity of presentation, contemporary examples and
applications from diverse areas, and an explanation of intuition and
ideas behind the statistical methods. Concepts are motivated,
illustrated and explained in a way that attempts to increase one's
intuition. To quote from the preface, "It is only when a student
develops a feel or intuition for statistics that she or he is really
on the path toward making sense of data."
Ross achieves this goal through a coherent mix of mathematical
analysis, intuitive discussions and examples.
Applications and examples refer to real-world issues, such as gun
control, stock price models, health issues, driving age limits, school
admission ages, use of helmets, sports, scientific fraud and many
others.
