Review: This informally-written textbook is about statistical ideas and statistical reasoning and on their relevance in such fields as medicine, education, environmental science, business, psychology, sports, politics, and entertainment. It is designed to support a US high school statistics first course that emphasizes statistical thinking. It talks about statistical ideas and their impact on every-day lives, presenting statistical ideas in four parts: producing data; organizing data; chance – probability, variation and risk; and inference.
