Statistics: A Fresh Approach

"an interesting (and sometimes humorous) ... attempt has been made here to (1) communicate with students rather than lecture to them, (2) present material in a rather relaxed and informal way without omitting the more important concepts, (3) recapture student attention with occasional quotes, ridiculous names, and unlikely situations of a humorous nature, and (4) utilize an intuitive and/or commonsense approach to develop concepts whenever possible." The serious and pragmatic purposes of college statistics are not lost in this text --- very usable as a reference for interesting teaching.
