Stevens' Introduction to Statistics: Think & Do textbook is presented in an innovative workbook format, integrating theoretical content with demonstrative examples and exercises in a page-by-page bullet point format. Designed to mimic the style of a typical classroom lecture, new content is initially summarized at the top of the page, followed by a completed demonstrative example before an unfinished example for the student to complete. While students often have difficulty connecting what is learned in a lecture to the corresponding content of a traditional textbook, Stevens' book bridges this gap by combining lecture notes, examples, exercises, and textbook content into a single, well-organized workbook. The digital version contains video solutions to selected exercises.
