This solid text presents ideas and concepts more clearly for students who have little or no background in statistics. The Twelveth Edition retains all the elements and style that educators nationwide have come to expect-clear prose, excellent problems and precise presentation of mathematics involved-while eliminating some of the computational drudgery.
