“This text is written in a plain and friendly style. The student has an excellent chance of grasping one concept before moving on to the next, more complex, module.”
-Elizabeth Mason, California University of Pennsylvania

“The text’s focus on hypothesis testing should lead to students’ deeper understanding of applying statistics to course work. The author did an excellent job of making the material entertaining and understandable.”
-Matthew Price, Georgia State University

Presented in short, digestible modules and written in a conversational tone, Statistics Alive! is an enjoyable read. Author Wendy J. Steinberg shows students the underlying logic to what they are learning and includes well-crafted practice and self-check features to help ensure that new knowledge sticks.
