From Book News, Inc.
A textbook for an introductory statistics course with applications and examples drawn from the biological sciences. Assumes no background in statistics and no higher math than elementary algebra. Does however include problems for which the computations are so demanding that realistically they cannot be solved without a computer. The earlier editions were published between 1974 and 1996.
