• Installation Instructions: Instructions are provided for installing Excel's Data Analysis add-in. 
• CD-ROM: Qualified adopters receive a CD-ROM containing the Appendix B data sets in electronic formats for Minitab®, Excel, the TI-83/84 Plus, STATDISK®, SAS, and SPSS; STATDISK (Version 10.0) statistical software; DDXL (Version 2.0), an Excel add-in; and TI-83/84 Programs.   Instructions are provided for installing Excel's Data Analysis add-in on the CD's Read Me files.

• New!  Top 20 Topics in Statistics are marked in the text by icons that highlight these essential topics.  Additional resources for these concepts are included in MyStatLab
• New!  Requirement check: When appropriate, solutions begin with a formal check of the requirements that must be verified before a particular method should be used.
• Statistical Literacy and Critical Thinking: Each exercise section begins with four new exercises that specifically involve statistical literacy and critical thinking. Also, the end of each chapter has another four exercises of this type.
• New!  There are over 1750 exercises—68 percent of them new!   More exercises use smaller data sets, and many require interpretation of results.
• Real data: 63% of the exercises use real data.

  For a one- or two-term course in business statistics.

   

  This best-selling introduction stresses the development of statistical thinking — the assessment of credibility and value of the inferences made from data — by both those who consume and those who produce the information. The authors emphasize inference; data collection and analysis are covered extensively, as needed, to evaluate the reported results of statistical studies and to make good business decisions. Numerous case studies, examples, and exercises draw on real business situations and recent economic events. Assumes a background in basic algebra.

   

  The text incorporates the following American Statistical Association (ASA) guidelines developed from both the Making Statistics More Effective in Schools of Business (MSMESB) conferences and Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) Project:

  • Students are most effectively motivated by seeing statistics at work in real applications, problems, cases, and projects.
  • Students should be provided with the opportunity to work with real data and make use of technology for statistical computations.
  • Formal training in probability needs to be downplayed in favor of intuitive concepts of probability.
  • We need to reduce our emphasis on formal theory of statistics and increase emphasis on applications.

  Statistics: The Art and Science of Learning from Data, 2/E

  Alan Agresti and Chris Franklin have merged their research and classroom experience to develop this successful introductory statistics text. Statistics: The Art and Science of Learning from Data, Second Edition helps students become statistically literate by encouraging them to ask and answer interesting statistical questions. It takes the ideas that have turned statistics into a central science in modern life and makes them accessible and engaging to students without compromising necessary rigor.

   

  The varied and data-rich examples and exercises place heavy emphasis on thinking about and understanding statistical concepts. The applications are topical and current, and successfully illustrate the relevance of statistics. The authors believe that it is important for students to be comfortable with analyzing both quantitative and categorical data. Every day in the media, students see and hear percentages and rates being used to summarize opinion polls, outcomes of medical studies, and economic reports. As a result, greater attention is paid to the analysis of proportions than is typical of many introductory statistic texts.

  
  

  The text maintains its commitment to the recommendations of the ASA endorsed GAISE (Guidelines for Assessment for Instruction in Statistical Education) Report.
