Exploring Statistics: Tales of Distributions (12th edition) is a textbook for a one-term statistics course in the social or behavioral sciences, education, or an allied health/nursing field. Its focus is conceptualization, understanding, and interpretation, rather than computation. Designed to be comprehensible and complete for students who take only one statistics course, it also includes elements that prepare students for additional statistics courses. For example, basic experimental design terms such as independent and dependent variables are explained so students can be expected to write fairly complete interpretations of their analyses. In many places, the student is invited to stop and think or do a thought exercise. Some problems ask the student to decide which statistical technique is appropriate. In sum, this book’s approach is in tune with instructors who emphasize critical thinking in their course.
