Basic statistics concepts refer to the fundamental elements of statistics. A collection of mathematical techniques known as statistics summarizes and analyzes observations. CC-BY-SA

Data analytics is a rapidly evolving field. In today’s labour market, knowing how to acquire, process, and interpret large amounts of data to make optimal decisions is crucial for many professionals, especially those in business and engineering.CC BY

Introduction to Modern Statistics is a re-imagining of a previous title, Introduction to Statistics with Randomization and Simulation. The new book puts a heavy emphasis on exploratory data analysis (specifically exploring multivariate relationships using visualization, summarization, and descriptive models) and provides a thorough discussion of simulation-based inference using randomization and bootstrapping, followed by a presentation of the related Central Limit Theorem based approaches.

Introduction to Statistics: An Excel-Based Approach introduces students to the concepts and applications of statistics, with a focus on using Excel to perform statistical calculations. The book is written at an introductory level, designed for students in fields other than mathematics or engineering, but who require a fundamental understanding of statistics.CC BY-NC-SA

Significant Statistics: An Introduction to Statistics is intended for students enrolled in a one-semester introduction to statistics course who are not mathematics majors. CC

This book presents probability and statistics from a more conceptual approach, and focuses less on computation. Analysis and interpretation of data is more important than how to compute basic statistical values. CC

This textbook provides the background needed to correctly use, interpret, and understand statistics and statistical data in diverse settings. CC
