User-Friendly Workbook and ASP Tutorial

This workbook is to accompany Statistics: Concepts and Applications by H. Frank and S. Althoen. It provides tutorial and examples as well as a comprehensive guide to using the computer software package ASP (an IBM disk containing this program is enclosed in the book). Statistics: Concepts and Applications is a 'classical' general statistics text written in modern voice. The authors bring mathematical, theoretical and conceptual integrity to a body of topics and techniques that is appropriate to a first course in statistics and do so in a way that is accessible to students whose mathematical preparation does not go beyond the standard curriculum for college algebra. The informal, conversational prose delivers conceptual richness and advances a quiet subtext of mathematics instruction that achieves a high level of mathematical rigour. The text presents a thorough, step-by-step development of fundamental principles.
