Exploring and Understanding Data 1: Preface Ix

This document contains the table of contents for a statistics textbook. The textbook is divided into seven parts that cover various statistical concepts and methods. Part I explores and understands data through descriptive statistics. Part II examines relationships between variables through correlation, regression, and graphical displays. Part III discusses methods for gathering data through experiments, surveys, and observational studies. Part IV introduces probability, random variables, and probability models. Part V makes statistical inferences about proportions through confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, and comparisons of two proportions. Part VI performs inferences about means through t-tests and ANOVA. Part VII examines relationships between variables through regression, ANOVA, and comparisons of counts. The textbook also includes appendixes with formulas, statistical software guides, answers, photo credits
