Small Data Book
'Teachers of statistical methodology frequently fabricate data sets to illustrate techniques or phenomena or for use in examination questions. This is not ideal, as artifical data sets can hinde from the student the relevance and importance of statistics in the modern world. This book offers teachers more than 500 real small data sets, each of which is accompanied by a description of the real-life problem leading to it. The book thus provides a unique collection of actual scenarios and data that can be used to illustrate statistical techniques, enabling teachers to provide convincing worked example and set realistic exercises.' -Publisher's description.
