This workbook covers the design, implementation and analysis of an experiment, according to the statistical enquiry cycle. Re-randomisation techniques are used to investigate the role of chance in the experimental results, and an appropriate formal statistical inference is made. Statistical and contextual knowledge are combined to communicate findings in a conclusion.

This write-on workbook may be used by teachers for classroom practice, or by students as a homework book or revision guide.

The write-on format keeps notes and exercises together in a compact form, providing a useful revision tool for end-of-topic assessments.
