Welcome to Seeing Statistics

Seeing Statistics ® is a new approach to teaching statistics using the World Wide Web. This webbook is based on three premises:

The important principles of statistics are remarkably easy if they can be seen.
Active involvement of the student facilitates learning.
Statistics can be fun!

Most of the graphs and figures in this textbook are dynamic and under the introExample.gif (900 bytes) control of the reader. Interacting with the graphs allows you to see the important statistical principles in action.

Rather than talk about it, it is best to view Seeing Statistics in action. To access Seeing Statistics, click on the "Enter Seeing Statistics" button to begin your exploration of Seeing Statistics!

Note: Seeing Statistics makes extensive use of JavaScript and Java and so requires those features be turned on in your browser. Seeing Statistics works well on either Internet Explorer or Firefox on Windows machines. Due to changes in Apple's implementation of Java, this version of Seeing Statistics is not recommended for Macintosh computers.
