Mosteller (Harvard U.), Fienberg (Carnegie Mellon U.), and Rourke (formerly St. Stephens School) introduce high school students to statistics in the areas of exploratory data analysis, methods for collecting data, formal statistical inference, and techniques of regression and analysis of variance. The examples are drawn from business, government, medicine, social sciences, biology, and everyday life. One year of algebra, at a typical grade nine level, provides sufficient background.
