• Real- World Examples: Every concept discussed in the text is illustrated by at least one detailed, compelling and illustrative example based on real-life situations. 

• Real Data Sources: Neil Weiss includes carefully cited data from reputable journals, newspapers, magazines and Web sites to help students see the integration of statistics in everyday life.

• Interpretation Boxes explain the meaning and significance of statistical results in every day life and highlight the importance of interpreting answers and results.
• What Does It Mean? boxes state, in "plain English," the meaning of definitions, formulas, and key facts. This feature also summarizes relevant discussions.
• Procedure Boxes have been enhanced to include the "why, when, and how" of the methods. Each procedure box has a brief identifying title followed by a statement of its purpose (why it's used), the assumptions for its use (when it's used), and the steps for applying the procedure (how it's used).

• Parallel Critical-Value/P-Value Approaches: Through a parallel presentation, this text offers complete flexibility in the coverage of critical-value and P-value approaches to hypothesis testing.  Instructors can focus on one approach, or they can cover and compare both approaches.
• Parallel Presentations of Technology offer complete flexibility in the coverage of technology which includes options for the use of MINITAB®, Excel®, and the TI-83 and TI-84 Plus graphing calculators. One or more technologies can be explored and compared. Instructions and output for each package are included in Technology Centers throughout the book.
• Technology Appendixes for Minitab, Excel and the TI-83/84 Plus graphing calculator introduce these statistical technologies, explain how to input data, and discuss how to perform basic tasks.  These appendixes are located in the Technology Basics folder of the WeissStats CD (bound in the back of the text

• Streamlined Presentation: The new editions have been rewritten to reveal the superior, clear instruction for which Weiss is well known.  This streamlined presentation seamlessly blends solid statistics (and the mathematics behind it) with a clear and effective teaching style. Students find these books readable and clear, and instructors appreciate that the math level is right for a diverse population.
• Hundreds of new and updated Exercises have been added to each section and reorganized into the following categories:
  • Understanding Concepts and Skills
  • Working with Large Data Sets
  • Extending the Concepts and Skills

• New You Try It! feature, which follows most worked examples, allows students to immediately check their understanding by directing them to a similar exercise for them to solve on their own.
• Expanded Focusing on Data Analysis sections at the end of each chapter now include a Focus Sample file that contains data on the same 13 variables for a simple random sample of 200 undergraduate students at the University of Wisconsin — Eau Claire. These 200 students constitute a sample that can be used for making numerous statistical references.
• New Case Studies: More than one-third of the chapter opener case studies are new.
• New Technology Appendixes by the author help students use Minitab, Excel, and the TI 83/84 Plus graphing calculators.  These appendixes, located on the CD-ROM packaged with new copies of the book, introduce the technology and methods for using it to work with data.
• The WeissStats CD-ROM included in every new copy of the textbook includes data sets in multiple formats; Data Desk/XL (DDXL) software, an Excel add-in; and optional text chapters that cover multiple regression analysis, model building in regression, and design of experiments and two-way analysis of variance.

Introductory Statistics - Algebra-Based  (Statistics)

Neil A. Weiss received his Ph.D. from UCLA in 1970 and subsequently accepted an assistant-professor position at Arizona State University (ASU), where he was ultimately promoted to the rank of full professor. Dr. Weiss has taught statistics, probability, and mathematics—from the freshman level to the advanced graduate level—for more than 30 years. In recognition of his excellence in teaching, he received the Dean’s Quality Teaching Award from the ASU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Dr. Weiss’ comprehensive knowledge and experience ensures that his texts are mathematically and statistically accurate, as well as pedagogically sound.

In addition to his numerous research publications, Dr. Weiss is the author of A Course in Probability (Addison-Wesley, 2006). He has also authored or coauthored books in finite mathematics, statistics, and real analysis, and is currently working on a new book on applied regression analysis and the analysis of variance. His texts—well known for their precision, readability, and pedagogical excellence—are used worldwide.

Dr. Weiss is a pioneer of the integration of statistical software into textbooks and the classroom, first providing such integration over 20 years ago in the book Introductory Statistics (Addison-Wesley, 1982). Weiss and Addison-Wesley continue that pioneering spirit to this day with the inclusion of some of the most comprehensive Web sites in the field.

In his spare time, Dr. Weiss enjoys walking, studying and practicing meditation, and playing hold ’em poker. He is married and has two sons.

  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.

  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.
