"A helpful guide for understanding the mathematical concepts and real-world applications of probability and statistics, including classroom tips, common terms such as outliers, and exercises to encourage hands-on practice"--Provided by publisher.

This book offers a broad collection of the principles of statistics and probability in a nice, compact format for the middle school and early high school student. Interesting text and background bring the principles to life. The topics are often enriched by references to famous mathematicians who discovered these principles and also snapshots of these principles at work in our real world. Seldom does a math book bring together the story of so many of these topics in such an accessible and readable text.
