By leading with practical data analysis and graphics, @lt;I@gt;Stats: Modeling the World@lt;/I@gt; gets students "doing statistics" and "thinking statistically" from the start. Students understand what we find in data, why we find it interesting, and how we report it to others as a sound foundation for the challenges of inference. Instructors praise @lt;I@gt;Stats Modeling the World@lt;/I@gt; as clear and accessible to students, and students report that they enjoy reading the text while learning how to do Statistics with the @lt;I@gt;Think, Show, @lt;/I@gt;and @lt;I@gt;Tell @lt;/I@gt;rubric and @lt;I@gt;What Can Go Wrong?@lt;/I@gt; sections.
