We hope readers will take away three ideas from this book in addition to forming a foundation of statistical thinking and methods.
- Statistics is an applied field with a wide range of practical applications.
- You don't have to be a math guru to learn from real, interesting data.
- Data are messy, and statistical tools are imperfect. But, when you understand the strengths and weaknesses of these tools, you can use them to learn about the real~world.
