Statistics: Learning From Data, written by the respected author team of Roxy Peck and Chris Olsen, offers an innovative approach to teaching and learning AP* Statistics, by tackling the areas that students struggle with most -- probability, hypothesis testing, and selecting an appropriate method of analysis. Supported by learning objectives, real-data examples and exercises, and technology notes, this brand new text guides students in gaining conceptual understanding, mechanical proficiency, and the ability to put knowledge into practice. Probability coverage is based on current research that shows how students best learn the subject. Two unique chapters, one on statistical inference and another on learning from experiment data, address two common areas of student confusion: choosing a particular inference method and using inference methods with experimental data.
