With its focus on data analysis, statistical reasoning, and the way statisticians actually work, Introduction to the Practice of Statistics (IPS) helped bring the power of critical thinking and practical applications to the general statistics classroom. Freed from an overload of computations, students are able to go beyond the raw numbers to see what the data actually meant. The IPS data analysis approach has gone from an attractive alternative to the method of choice for most instructors.

Now, with exciting new material and features, hundreds of new exercises, and more challenges for your advanced students, Introduction to the Practice of Statistics returns as a modern classic.
