first statistics textbook of its kind!” —Patrick Bolger, Department of Psychology, Texas

statistics and R that I have read. Even the most hesitant student is likely to embrace the
material with this text.” —David A. M. Peterson, Department of Political Science, Iowa
State University
“This is an ENTERTAINING and UNORTHODOX text that explains statistical concepts
in a way that engages students and rewards them for achievements. As useful to
instructors as it is to their students.”
—Matthew Phillips, Department of Criminal Justice, University of North Carolina at
Charlotte

EXCELLENT EXAMPLES and step-by-step processes. The student gains mastery over
statistical analysis that can be applied to the real world.” —Mary A. Moore, Department
of Healthcare Administration, Colorado State University

learning about quantitative methods. The HIGHLY ENGAGING lessons walk students

analysis, including the presentation of results in graphical form, using code.” —Jennifer
