<br/><br/> Shows how statistics needn?t be difficult or dull, likens the role of a statistician to that of a curious detective, an honest attorney, and a good storyteller. Minimizes the use of formulas, but provides a step-by-step approach to their solution, and includes a glossary of key terms, symbols, and definitions at the end of each chapter. Includes a short story about historical and contemporary statisticians who figured prominently in the evolution of the discipline of statistics.
