Overview
For courses in introductory statistics.
A Contemporary Classic Classic, yet contemporary; theoretical, yet applied—McClave & Sincich’s A First Course in Statistics gives you the best of both worlds. This text offers a trusted, comprehensive introduction to statistics that emphasizes inference and integrates real data throughout. The authors stress the development of statistical thinking, the assessment of credibility, and value of the inferences made from data. This new edition is extensively revised with an eye on clearer, more concise language throughout the text and in the exercises.
Ideal for one- or two-semester courses in introductory statistics, this text assumes a mathematical background of basic algebra.
Flexibility is built in for instructors who teach a more advanced course, with optional footnotes about calculus and the underlying theory.
