  • Conversational tone: “talks” students through the development of statistical ideas using common, everyday language.
  • Builds on common ideas (like how to buy a house) to teach even the most number-phobic student how to think quantitatively.
  • Uses a logical mathematic progression to teach students how to think effectively.
  • Each chapter contains a section called “Avoiding Common Misunderstandings” that takes Maxwell’s practical experience in a class room and enables students to avoid making common mistakes in the first place and to understand why.
  • Each section includes exercises to reinforce the concepts introduced and includes answers to odd-numbered exercises.
