Introduction to the Practice of Statistics is the classic textbook for teaching statistics. This textbook shows students how to produce and interpret data from real-world contexts, guiding them through the type of data gathering and analysis that working statisticians do every day. With this phenomenally successful approach developed by David Moore and George McCabe, statistics is more than just a collection of techniques and formulas. Instead, students develop a way of thinking about data with a focus on problem-solving that helps them understand concepts and master statistical reasoning.

Part of the best-selling Moore family of statistics books, Introduction to the Practice of Statistics is designed for a two-semester `introduction to statistics’ course and offers a rigorous introduction to the subject. This textbook is available on LaunchPad, which combines an interactive ebook with multimedia content and assessment tools, including LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. See `Instructor Resources’ and `Student Resources’ for further information.

Mostly a great book. The book is more heavy on examples and application more that description and explanation. If that style of teaching works for you, then this book is golden in explain statistical concepts!

1.0 out of 5 stars Turn back professors, this book is simply not good. Spare your students and use a better-written book

Like other reviewers have mentioned, this book is not good at explaining statistical concepts. The writing style is strange and includes errors (I'm not sure when it was decided 100,000 requires a comma in English, but 1,000 does not). Other errors include repeating sentences in problems or answers being incorrect. A character in one problem is named Emily, but ends up as Julie by the end of the problem. The writing style is also somewhat inappropriate and unprofessional. One problem gives an example of studying the effect of calcium on young girls, so an experiment is created where investigators spike the punch at a summer camp for girls. Another problem asks you to explain why it would be "stupid" to not sell more than 10 of something.

The problems at the end of the sections are the most frustrating part. Oftentimes, questions will refer to the previous problem, a problem within the section, or a problem from an entirely different section just to have you answer the same questions as those problems. One problem even referred to a problem in the previous section which referred to a previous problem in that section. Talk about problem-ception, just combine the problems into one. Other problems require you to source data from the internet or from some other unknown source (How do I make a scatterplot without the necessary data?! The book doesn't even tell me where to get it from!).

The answers to the odd numbered problems are given in the back of the book, at least partially. Some parts of answers are mysteriously left out and skipped. Some answers are just flat out incorrect. For example, one question asks what blood type children will have if the parents have B and O alleles. Obviously, it would be B or O blood type, but the back of the book says it should be A or O. If you plan on teaching yourself statistics with this book, you will be left scratching your head wondering if your math is incorrect or if the book is incorrect.

I'm not sure what teachers and professors see in this book, but it is simply not good. It seems as if the authors merely pumped this book out to make a quick buck, put little thought or care into the material, and stamped it as the "up to date edition". Perhaps it is the only Intro to Statistics book on the market? Anyway, I will be returning this book.
