the fundamental basis for statistical inference and demystifies
traditional formulas.
The book begins with illustrations that have the essential

intermittent practice questions, which challenge readers at
multiple levels to investigate and explore key statistical
concepts
* Numerous interactive links designed to provide solutions to
exercises and further information on crucial concepts
* Linkages that connect statistics to the rapidly growing field
of data science
* Multiple discussions of various software systems, such as
Microsoft Office Excel®, Stat Crunch, and R, to develop and
analyze data
* Areas of concern and/or contrasting points-of-view indicated
through the use of ‘Caution’ icons
Introductory Statistics and Analytics: A Resampling
Perspective is an excellent primary textbook for courses in
preliminary statistics as well as a supplement for courses in
upper-level statistics and related fields, such as biostatistics
