About this book

Learn why statistics are important and how you can use statistical principles and methods to make better decisions in your professional and daily life with Utts/Heckard's MIND ON STATISTICS, 6th Edition. This unique approach changes any preconceptions you may have about statistics being boring as you develop a conceptual understanding of statistical ideas and learn the importance of looking for -- and finding -- meaning in data. Intriguing questions capture your attention while meaningful explanations demonstrate the relevance of statistical with updated and new examples and contemporary case studies. You develop a strong statistical intuition as you learn to analyze data and interpret results. As you strengthen your statistical literacy, you also develop an understanding of statistical methodology. A new Statistical Analysis and Learning Tool (SALT) within WebAssign helps you visualize statistics and gain a deeper conceptual understanding of the meaning behind the data.
