9780534371111: The Elements of Statistics with Applications to Economics and the Social Sciences

Synopsis
Well-nigh this title

Designed for instructors who want to stress the understanding of basic concepts and the development of "statistical intuition," this book demonstrates that statistical reasoning is everywhere and that statistical concepts are every bit important to students' personal lives every bit they are to their future professional person careers. Ramsey aims to develop statistically literacy - from the ability to read and remember critically nigh statistics published in pop media to the ability to analyze and act upon statistics gathered in the business world. The underlying philosophy of this book is that given a reasonable level of depth in the assay, the educatee tin can later acquire a much more extensive, and even more intensive, exposure to statistics on their own or in the context of the piece of work surroundings. Some use of calculus is included. Apply of the computer is integrated throughout.
