To Students

This OER book is intended to help students in introductory statistics courses. The intended audience is non-science majors. We do not include formal proofs but instead focus on step-by-step examples and try to explain statistical concepts in everyday terms.

To Instructors

The techniques used in this book are similar to Mathplosion but updated to use Quarto publishing system.

The previous version of this book used (Xie 2019) and the wonderful RMarkdown format. See The R Markdown and knitr Book (Xie 2015)
