Beginning Statistics provides college students with a learning tool that will help them perform basic statistical calculations with heavy doses of analytical reasoning that can be used in future statistics classes, no matter what field of study they choose. This edition of Warren, Denley, and Atchey's Beginning Statistics is written in an informal style in order to be mathematically accurate without overwhelming the "non-mathematical" student. The book is written in a manner that speaks directly to the reader, asking them to be interactive with the examples and projects throughout the book. Students will become more comfortable interpreting the results of the statistical calculations used in research and will therefore be better prepared when performing their own research.
