The second half considers the power of the modern computer and our reliance on technology to do the calculations for us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOffering a fresh presentation that builds on the author's previous book, \u003cem\u003eUnderstanding Statistics\u003c\/em\u003e, this book includes exercises (with solutions at the rear of the book) and worked examples. Chapters close with a brief mention of the relevant R commands and summary of the content.
