Part I. Exploring Data
Exploring Data: Variables and Distributions
Chapter 1. Picturing Distributions with Graphs
Chapter 2. Describing Distributions with Numbers
Chapter 3. The Normal Distributions
There has been a major change to the chapter exercises in chapter 3 to greatly reduce exercises based on standardized tests, replacing them with mainly life science and manufacturing settings in which distributions are approximately Normal. A group of exercises asks a combination of data analysis and Normal calculation to asses Normality of real data, thus linking chapter 3 more strongly with chapters 1 and 2.
