There are twenty-five chapters organised in five sections, each beginning with a brief perspective of a theme in statistics and finishing with five questions related to that theme. The answers provided to the questions, in section six, are as discursive and illuminating as the main body of the text. Even if you are pretty sure you know the answer, it is always worth checking what the authors have to say. Chances are that you will learn something every time. The glimpses and insights given into this enormous and far-reaching discipline succeed in being bewitching, entertaining and inviting; coverage was never the aim.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"In summary, this splendid book lives up to the four 'p-values' of its title. It is panoramic in the scope of its survey of statistics, it is full of illuminating perspectives, it sets entertaining and challenging puzzles, and it explores fascinating paradoxes. Read it, enjoy it and learn from it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom Neil Sheldon, Teaching Statistics, volume 9, no. 2, May 2017\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853972656364,"sku":"9781119075820","price":80.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/11705263482586.jpg?v=1759229003"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/eric-sowey.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
