Summary: Every time you pick up a newspaper or a magazine, when you watch TV, or surf the Internet, you encounter statistics. Every time you fill out a questionnaire, register at an online website, or pass your grocery rewards card through an electronic scanner. your personal information becomes part of a database containing your personal sta-tistical information. You cannot avoid the fact that in this information age, data col-lection and analysis are an integral part of our day-to-day activities. In order to be an educated consumer and citizen, you need to understand how statistics are used and misused in our daily lives. To that end we need to train your brain for statistical thinking a theme we emphasize throughout the twelfth edition by providing you with a personal trainer.
