Hey! You’ve done it; congratulations. You have made your way through all or most of what, for many of you, is your first or second course in statistics. We know that it wasn’t easy, but we hope that it has been inspiring. You now have the basic tools to quantify everyday observations, describe your observations in tables and graphs, and test how well whatever you discovered in your sample fits with a larger population.
Now go do something useful!
And please, send us an email with any details that can make this textbook better. We will be sure to thank you in the next edition and you will have made life a little easier for the next generation of statistical thinkers.
