5.0 out of 5 stars No other book gets students as excited about statistics, January 28, 2002
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Statistics: A Guide to the Unknown (Wadsworth & Brooks/Cole Statistics/Probability Series) (Paperback)
I've used examples from this book in every research design, evaluation or statistics course I have ever taught. The essays are compelling -- how a statistician beats a parking ticket, how the whales are counted, the biggest health experiment ever conducted. I actually see students eyes light up and they catch the joy and excitement of detection, wit, thinking outside the box, the humility of guessing rather than knowing. The book is a sheer pleasure. Bravo to the authors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for AP Stats!, August 21, 2006
By 
As an AP Statistics teacher, these articles really help students understand how statistics is used in the real world. Nice follow up questions at the end of each article.
