Learning Statistics Through Playing Cards

A one-of-a-kind volume, Learning Statistics Through Playing Cards uniquely utilizes a simple deck of playing cards to explain the important concepts in statistics. Covering many of the topics included in introductory college statistics courses, author Thomas R. Knapp escorts the student through populations and variables, parameters, percentages, probability and sampling, sampling distribution, estimation, hypothesis testing, and two-by-two tables. Each chapter ends with a series of exercises designed to help the student actually manipulate the concept under discussion (the answers are provided at the back of the text). Also included is an annotated bibliography that directs the student toward further readings.
