The authors interweave statistical methodology with applications of data analysis to enrich students' understanding of how statistics underpin problem-solving and decision-making. Students develop a computational foundation and learn to use various techniques before moving on to statistical application and interpretation. At the end of each section, exercises focus on computation and use of formulas, while application exercises require students to apply what they have learnt to real-world problems.
