REAL DATA. Authentic scenarios with real data help students understand statistical concepts in interesting contexts that relate to their own lives.
Margin Notes, including "Understanding the context," "Consider the data," "Formulate a plan," "Do the work," and "Interpret the results" appear in appropriate places in the examples to highlight the importance of context and to increase student awareness of the steps in the data analysis process.
"Interpreting and Communicating the Results of Statistical Analysis" sections--which emphasize the importance of being able to interpret statistical output and communicate its meaning to non-statisticians--have assignable end-of-section questions associated with them.
The book emphasizes graphical display as a necessary component of data analysis and provides broad coverage of sampling, survey design, experimental design and transformations, and nonlinear regression.
