Part I provides an overview of both statistics and R. Part II focuses on descriptive statistics and probability. In Part III, students learn about discrete and continuous probability distributions with chapters addressing probability distributions, binominal probability distributions, and normal probability distributions. Part IV speaks to statistical inference with content covering confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, chi-square tests and F-distributions. The final part explores additional statistical inference and assumptions, including correlation, regression, and nonparametric statistics. Helpful appendices provide students with an index of terminology, an index of applications, a glossary of symbols, and a guide to the most common R commands.
Elementary Statistics is an ideal resource for introductory courses in undergraduate statistics, graduate statistics, and data analysis across the disciplines.
