SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
David Moore pioneered the "data analysis" (conceptual) approach for the introductory statistics textbooks. Moore's The Basic Practice of Statistics became the market-leading bestseller by focusing on how statistics are gathered, analyzed, and applied to real problems and situations--and by confronting student anxieties about the course's relevance and difficulties head on. This new Sixth Edition offers the same crystal clear writing and use of real data as past editions, while incorporating new and updated examples and exercises, and presenting new features to support the learning and teaching goals for today's generation of students
