Introduction to the practice of statistics

the long version

"With its focus on data analysis and the way statisticians actually work, Introduction to the Practice of Statistics (IPS) helped revolutionize general statistics. Freed from an overload of computations, students were able to see statistics as a revelatory way of understanding the world, and as an essential tool for any number of academic and professional fields. Thoroughly revised and fully media-connected, the new edition of IPS continues the revolution. Book jacket."--Jacket.
