Freeman is excited to be publishing a new text by David Moore: Essential Statistics. David Moores considerable experience as a statistician and instructor  and his commitment to producing high-quality  innovative introductory statistics textbooks motivated him to create Essential Statistics. The text offers the same highly successful approach and pedagogy of David Moores bestselling The Basic Practice of Statistics (BPS)  Fifth Edition  but in a briefer  more concise format. Through careful rewriting  he has shortened and simplified explanations  to better highlight the key  essential  statistical ideas and methods students need to know. The text is based on three principles: balanced content  the importance of ideas  and experience with data. Using a just the basics approach  the text clarifies and simplifies important concepts and methods  while engaging students with contemporary  realistic examples. Throughout the book  exercises help students check and apply their skills. A four-step problem-solving process in examples and exercises encourage good habits that go beyond graphs and calculations to ask  What do the data tell me? Essential Statistics is what its name suggests: a basic introduction to statistical ideas and methods that aims to equip students to carry out common statistical procedures and to follow statistical reasoning in their fields of study and in their future employment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651705298997,"sku":"ByrdShop_142925517X","price":398.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781429255172.jpg?v=1781837665","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/essential-statistics-2nd-edition-9781429255172","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
