Develops statistical literacy and critical thinking through real-world applications with emphasis on ideas, not calculations.

Stresses ideas, introduced in interesting applied and real contexts, devoid of technicalities and calculations.

Focuses on two central concepts: uncertainty and data.

Contains dozens of case studies and numerous examples based on real data, real news stories, research summaries, and examples of misuses of statistics.

25 compact chapters allow for a variety of coverages and cohesive lectures.

Chapters start with ''Thought Questions'' that facilitate discussion of the chapter's primary ideas and include several mini-projects that promote student practice with ideas as they appear in news media.
