Understanding Statistics (Paperback, School edition)

This is an excellent new text, which meets the A-level requirements of Statistics as a subject in its own right and as a part of Mathematics. It is also a very thorough introduction to the subject for students in higher education who need a grounding in Statistics related to other disciplines. The book is written in a friendly style, with lively text, interesting contexts, and potted biographies of significant mathematicians. It includes a huge number of worked examples and exercises, and over 80 projects, which give students the confidence to put theory into practice.
