This non-calculus introduction to statistics provides an intuitive treatment of both statistics and probability, with a strong emphasis on applications and problem solving. It offers a hands-on approach to learning statistics through 22 student experiments and real-world problems and exercises. The author provides pointers to ways in which statistical software packages, as well as scientific and graphics calculators, can be used by students to perform time-consuming computations while helping them to better focus on the concepts. Exercises are based on data taken from business, psychology, health, medicine, sports and other areas.
