{"product_id":"9781469107318","title":"Statistics: Basic Principles and Applications","description":"Our objective in this book is to present an exposition of basic principles of statistics along with some indication of applications which satisfies the following ten commandments:\u003cbr\u003e⢠The focus should be placed on a clear development of basic ideas and principles.\u003cbr\u003e⢠The exposition of these basic ideas and principles should be streamlined so as to avoid having the undergrowth get in the way of the statistical forest.\u003cbr\u003e⢠High priority should be given to the assumptions which underlie the application of statistical principles.\u003cbr\u003e⢠Understanding of abuses, misuses, and misunderstandings which have arisen from the application of statistics is essential for a correct understanding of statistics.\u003cbr\u003e⢠The coverage should provide students with sufficient preparation for continued study of intermediate and advanced level statistics or disciplines which use statistical methodology.\u003cbr\u003e⢠The exposition should be readable and understandable by students without sacrifice of mathematical accuracy.\u003cbr\u003e⢠The organization should clearly distinguish mainstream topics inherent in every basic level statistics course, irrespective of applied interests, from topics of special interest to particular audience segments.\u003cbr\u003e⢠The computation dimension should not be given equal billing with statistical principles and ideas. Statistics is the master and, important as it is, the computation tool is the servant.\u003cbr\u003e⢠Exercises to provoke-thought - exercise the little grey cells, as Hercule Poirot would put it - should be a prominent part of the exposition.\u003cbr\u003e⢠Exercise banks to help the student see statistics as a whole are important.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130291011824,"sku":"9781469107318","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781469107318_p0.jpg?v=1763699072","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781469107318","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
