Book Reviews of Statistics Through Applications
Book Review: I really like this book BUT
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a Stats teacher who is always looking for "The Perfect Textbook" Well, this isn't it BUT I really do like this textbook. The first several chapters take the learner through the process of how data is collected. There are several activities and a couple of research problems to do. The next section talks about how to display the data and when is the best time to do what.
Those first two sections are VERY well done and I honestly feel that students understand (I mean really understand) how important good data is and how easy it is to destroy good data with bad decisions.
However, it is after these two sections that I would be forced to turn to another textbook. The data analysis part of this book is o-kay but nothing really to write home about. Yeah, it does a good job discussing the topics (though there really isn't enough practice problems) but it is just sorta there. Here is the formula, try it, here is the next one. Not the zip of the first 100 or so pages that is for sure.
Overall, a good supplemental book that needs a solid data analysis book to go with it.
