Modern Mathematical Statistics with Applications

This 3^rd edition of Modern Mathematical Statistics with Applications tries to strike a balance between mathematical foundations and statistical practice.  The book provides a clear and current exposition of statistical concepts and methodology, including many examples and exercises based on real data gleaned from publicly available sources. Here is a small but representative selection of scenarios for our examples and exercises based on information in recent articles:

• Use of the "Big Mac index" by the publication The Economist as a humorous way to compare product costs across nations
