Foundations and Applications of Statistics simultaneously emphasizes both the foundational and the computational aspects of modern statistics. Engaging and accessible, this book is useful to undergraduate students with a wide range of backgrounds and career goals. The exposition immediately begins with statistics, presenting concepts and results from probability along the way. Hypothesis testing is introduced very early, and the motivation for several probability distributions comes from p-value computations.
The inclusion of R code has been improved through the use of knitr, which did not exist at the time I began the first edition but has now replaced my inferior, homespun solution. I encourage my students to take advantage of knitr as well, typically through R Markdown within RStudio.
