This two-volume anthology uses engaging examples from the world of sports to introduce students to critical concepts in mathematics and statistics. Volume I is organized into eleven sections, which use data from golf, long jump, soccer, hockey, NASCAR, and wrestling to help illustrate statistical reasoning and effective data analysis. Topics discussed include population and samples, graphical methods, measures of central tendency, and measures of variability. The text also covers relative standing, detecting outliers, basic probability, and normal distribution and rules, including Chebyshev's ...
