Statistics Through Applications (Second Edition) is the exclusive text designed for high school statistics courses. Authored by Daren S. Starnes, this book takes a data analysis approach that prioritizes conceptual understanding over complex computation, while acknowledging that some level of computation is essential. The primary focus is on statistical thinking and how it relates to the gathering and interpretation of data.

Targeting students often encountering their first applied mathematics course, STA introduces them to the role statisticians play in enhancing our comprehension of the world. It equips learners with the skills to critically evaluate statistics found in advertisements, economic reports, political campaigns, and other media sources.

Enhanced for its second edition, STA 2e includes expanded coverage of probability, a reorganized data analysis section, and a new color design.
