Very often, information is provided that is factually accurate but intended to present a biased view. This book presents the important results of probability and statistics without making heavy mathematical demands on the reader. It should enable an intelligent reader to properly assess statistical information and to understand that the same information can be presented in different ways. 606 $aProbabilities 606 $aStatistics 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 0$aStatistics. 676 $a519.2 676 $a519.5 700 $aWoolfson$b M.
