Elementary Statistics : A Brief Version, 8/e (Paperback)

• Elementary Statistics: A Brief Version was written as an aid in the beginning Statistics course for students whose mathematical background is limited to basic algebra. The book follows a nontheoretical approach without formal proofs, explaining concepts intuitively and supporting them with abundant examples. The applications span a broad range of topics including problems in business, sports, health architecture, education, entertainment, political science, psychology, history, criminal justice, and many more. While a number of important changes have been made in this next edition, the learning system remains untouched and provides students with a useful framework in which to learn and apply concepts.

《基礎統計學：簡明版》是為數學背景僅限於基礎代數的學生所設計的入門統計學課程輔助教材。本書採用非理論的方法，不涉及正式的證明，以直觀的方式解釋概念並通過豐富的例子加以支持。應用範圍涵蓋廣泛，包括商業、體育、健康建築、教育、娛樂、政治科學、心理學、歷史、刑事司法等各個領域的問題。雖然在這個新版中進行了一些重要的改變，但學習系統保持不變，為學生提供了一個有用的框架，以便學習和應用概念。
