-----------------------------

Rewritten Categorical chapter

-----------------------------

 

Many of the interactive diagrams have been improved. Pages have = been added

about misleading graphics and about marginal and conditional proportions.

The latter will provide an introduction to the corresponding probability

concepts in a later chapter.

 

------------------------------------------

Rewritten Sampling and Variability = chapter

------------------------------------------

 

This is a major re-write. Additional material includes use of = random

numbers to select random samples, expanded coverage of = probability

including the Law of Large Numbers, simple simulation models, = the effect

of dependence on the sample mean, the finite population = correction factor,

stratified, cluster and two-stage sampling, and an introduction = to random

number generation. All use interactive diagrams to teach the = concepts.

 

----------------

Business Version

----------------

 

Business versions of the Categorical and Sampling chapters have = also been

added.

 

-------------------------------

Improved Versions for Lecturers

-------------------------------
