《統計調查導論》引導學生學習統計調查的整個過程，包括資料收集、資料探索、統計推論以及得出適當的結論。本書著重真實的科學研究案例、主動學習以及科技的有效運用。模擬和隨機化檢定引入了統計推論的概念，為學生奠定了堅實的理論基礎，並幫助他們過渡到基於理論的推論方法。反覆練習使學生能夠理解推論的邏輯和範圍。本教材遵循美國統計協會認可的GAISE（統計分析、資訊系統和統計教育）建議。
Introduction to Statistical Investigations leads students to learn about the process of conducting statistical investigations from data collection, to exploring data, to statistical inference, to drawing appropriate conclusions. It focuses on genuine research studies, active learning, and effective use of technology. Simulations and randomization tests introduce statistical inference, yielding a strong conceptual foundation that bridges students to theory-based inference approaches. Repetition allows students to see the logic and scope of inference. This implementation follows the GAISE recommendations endorsed by the American Statistical Association.
