CAST contains several alternative e-books that cover the material in an introductory statistics course. The 'general' e-book uses data sets and scenarios of general interest, whereas other e-books use examples from specific subject areas.

Since similar statistical methods are used in most application areas, the statistical concepts covered by the different e-books are mostly the same. You can therefore study any CAST e-book to learn these concepts. However you may find it more interesting to read applications that are related to your professional interests if a more relevant CAST e-book has been written.

(On some pages, a menu indicated by a downward-pointing arrow at the top right of the page allows you to view different versions of the page.)

This is a restricted version of the e-book that does not contain any videos. It is only recommended for those whose internet connection is too poor to download or stream videos.
