Statistics in Practice is an exciting new addition to W.H. Freeman's introductory statistics list. Co-authored by David Moore, it maintains his pioneering data analysis approach but incorporates significant changes designed to help students. Statistics in Practice introduces data collection early, covers tests of proportions first before tests of means, and engages students with its conversational writing style. SIP is a modern approach to the introductory statistics course, clearly showing the importance of statistics to students during their academic life and beyond.
