About this ebook
The 6th Edition of Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis by Roxy Peck, Chris Olsen, and Tom Short covers everything from basic data collection to advanced inferential techniques. The textbook explicitly focuses on interpreting data and communicating statistical results. [1, 2, 3]
The official table of contents outlines the core topics covered in this edition:
Part 1: Collecting and Describing Data
  • Chapter 1: The Role of Statistics and the Data Analysis Process – Introduction to statistical thinking, populations, samples, and types of data. [1, 2]
  • Chapter 2: Collecting Data Sensibly – Design of observational studies, simple comparative experiments, sampling methods, and minimizing bias. [1, 2, 3]
  • Chapter 3: Graphical Methods for Describing Data – Visualizing data using bar charts, pie charts, histograms, stem-and-leaf plots, and boxplots. [1, 2]
  • Chapter 4: Numerical Methods for Describing Data – Computing measures of center (mean, median) and variability (range, variance, standard deviation). [1, 2]
  • Chapter 5: Summarizing Bivariate Data – Investigating relationships between two variables using scatterplots, correlation coefficients, and least-squares regression lines. [1, 2, 3]
Part 2: Probability and Modeling
  • Chapter 6: Probability – Fundamental definitions, chance experiments, sample spaces, basic rules, and conditional probability.
  • Chapter 7: Random Variables and Probability Distributions – Discrete and continuous random variables, binomial distributions, and normal distributions.
  • Chapter 8: Sampling Variability and Sampling Distributions – Analyzing the behavior of sample statistics and utilizing the Central Limit Theorem. [1, 2, 3]
Part 3: Statistical Inference
  • Chapter 9: Estimation Using a Single Sample – Finding point estimates and constructing confidence intervals for a single population mean or proportion.
  • Chapter 10: Hypothesis Testing Using a Single Sample – Setting up null and alternative hypotheses, calculating p-values, and identifying Type I and Type II errors.
  • Chapter 11: Comparing Two Populations or Treatments – Inferences, confidence intervals, and hypothesis tests for the difference between two means or proportions.
  • Chapter 12: The Analysis of Categorical Data and Goodness-of-Fit Tests – Chi-square tests for independence, homogeneity, and goodness-of-fit. [1, 2, 3]
Part 4: Advanced Statistical Methods
  • Chapter 13: Simple Linear Regression and Correlation: Inferential Methods – Assessing the reliability of a regression model and testing the slope of the population regression line.
  • Chapter 14: Multiple Regression Analysis – Building models with multiple predictor variables and evaluating model utility.
  • Chapter 15: Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) – Using Single-Factor ANOVA and F-tests to compare multiple treatment means.
  • Chapter 16: Nonparametric Statistical Methods – Distribution-free tests used when standard data assumptions (like normality) are violated. [1, 2]
Key Updates in the 6th Edition
The authors added randomization-based inference techniques. This includes bootstrap methods to simulate confidence intervals and randomization tests for evaluation. []
