For Introductory Statistics-Algebra-based courses.

This text offers a straightforward, “nuts and bolts”, introduction to statistics. The explanations are clear and simple and minimize calculations where possible. A diverse range of applications and examples are presented to make the materials appealing to a wide range of students. The Eighth Edition features new problems, more real data based examples and exercises, and fuller integration of technology.

  • NEW - Conceptual Exercises—Require students to think about math, and “why” problems are solved in a specific manner. Conceptual Exercises are denoted with an icon based on Rodin's “The Thinker.”

    • Allows students to gain a deeper understanding of key concepts.

  • NEW - Computer Printouts—Computer printouts and graphing calculator reproductions appear throughout the book. These have been updated and generated with the use of Minitab. “Computer” and “Calculator” icons denote these exercises.
  • The problem sets have been extensively revised—More than 30% of the problems are new and or revised, many additional, real data-based problems have been added, and internal referencing within the problem sets has been minimized.
  • Review Sections—Presented at three chapter intervals throughout the book.

    • Reinforces connections outside the context of a particular section or chapter. Identified with a pale blue screen, they include a list of Achievements that students should have mastered after studying the group of chapters, a checklist of key terms annotated with specific page references, and a cumulative section of Review Exercises that tests concepts from the previous three chapters.

  • Representative problems within each exercise set are denoted as being Practice Exercises—Fully worked out solutions to these problems are presented at the end of each chapter in the Solutions to Practice Exercises section.
  • A new Appendix, TI-83 Tips.

    • Provides additional help in using the graphing calculator.

  • Minitab output screens are set off in “Using Technology: Minitab” boxes and are referenced in the examples.

  • Conceptual Exercises—Require students to think about math, and “why” problems are solved in a specific manner. Conceptual Exercises are denoted with an icon based on Rodin's “The Thinker.”

    • Allows students to gain a deeper understanding of key concepts.

  • Computer Printouts—Computer printouts and graphing calculator reproductions appear throughout the book. These have been updated and generated with the use of Minitab. “Computer” and “Calculator” icons denote these exercises.
