A text for two types of statistics courses. Early and case study chapters are designed for use in the second half of a two-semester introductory statistics sequence for undergraduates with statistics or non-statistics majors. The text as a whole can be used for a course in applied regression analysis for masters or Ph.D. students in other fields. Exercise and tutorial data sets are available on a complementary diskette from the publisher. This fifth edition contains one new case study and more computer printouts.
