ISBN 13: 9780321755957
A First Course in Statistics is an introductory text designed for one-semester courses
that emphasizes inference and sound decision-making through extensive coverage of
data collection and analysis. As in earlier editions, the eleventh edition text stresses
the development of statistical thinking, the assessment of credibility, and value of the
inferences made from data, both by those who consume and those who produce them. It
assumes a mathematical background of basic algebra.
The text incorporates the following strategies, developed from the American
Statistical Association’s (ASA) Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics
Education (GAISE) Project:
• Emphasize statistical literacy and develop statistical thinking
• Use real data in applications
• Use technology for developing conceptual understanding and analyzing data
• Foster active learning in the classroom
• Stress conceptual understanding rather than mere knowledge of procedures
