Statistics

Essentials of Statistics,Third Edition is the ideal text for instructors who want a more economical and streamlined text for their introductory statistics course. Drawn from Triola's Elementary Statistics, Tenth Edition, this text provides the same student-friendly approach with material presented in a real-world context.

• Margin Essays including Statistics in the News, throughout the text illustrate the uses and abuses of statistics in real, practical, and interesting applications, such as "Do Boys or Girls Run in the Family?" and "Safest Airplane Seats."
• Flowcharts throughout the text simplify and clarify complex concepts and procedures.
• Increased emphasis on Interpreting Results rather than simply obtaining answers helps students make sense of the results and, where appropriate, state a practical conclusion. Worked examples in the text follow this approach.
• Large Data Sets: Appendix B includes 18 large data sets, including 4 that are new and 3 others with new data.
• Technology: STATDISK^®, Minitab^®, Excel^®, and TI-83/84 Plus instructions and output appear throughout the text.
• A chapter-opening problem using real data motivates the chapter material alongside a chapter overview, which states the chapter's objectives.
• End-of-chapter features:
• Chapter Reviews summarize the key concepts and topics of the chapter.
• Review Exercises offer practice on chapter concepts and procedures.
• Cumulative Review Exercises reinforce earlier material.
• From Data to Decision: Critical Thinking capstone problems; Cooperative Group Activities; Technology Projects and Internet Projects are included in every chapter.
• Statistics @ Work are interviews with a diverse selection of professionals who explain how using particular statistical concepts helps them excel in their careers.
• The CD-ROM included with new copies of the textbook includes all of the data sets from Appendix B in various formats, including as a TI-83 Plus APP, and STATDISK (Windows^® and Macintosh^®) statistical software for instructors who want to supplement the calculator. 

• New Exercises: More than 68% of the exercises are new, including more exercises that use small data sets.
• The author identifies the Top 20 Topics that are essential in an introductory statistics course. These topics are identified with an icon in the text.  Students using MyStatLab have access to additional resources that link these topics to definitions, animations, and video lessons.
• More small data sets make homework and in-class exercises more manageable.
• Statistical Literacy and Critical Thinking Exercises begin each exercise set to promote statistical literacy and encourage critical thinking.
• Exercise answers: For all numerical answers, both table and technology results are provided.
• In the appropriate worked examples, solutions begin with a formal Requirement Check that verifies that a particular method is to be used.
• Technology inclusion: Instruction for STATDISK, Minitab^®, Excel^®, and the TI-83/84 are included in the book as well as screen captures from SPSS and SAS.
• Videos have been expanded and supplement most sections in the book, with many topics presented by the author.  The videos feature graphing calculator technology coverage and worked-out Chapter Review Exercises.
• MyStatLab provides instructors with a rich and flexible set of course materials, along with course-management tools that make it easy to deliver all or a portion of your course online. MyStatLab also provides students with a personalized interactive learning environment, where they can learn at their own pace and measure their progress.
• Visualizing Data: The section on Visualizing Data has been divided into two sections, (2-3) Histograms and (2-4) Statistical Graphics, with an increased emphasis on statistical graphics.
• Chapter 2: The material in Chapter 2 has been divided into two chapters: Chapter 2, Summarizing and Graphing Data, and Chapter 3, Statistics for Describing, Exploring, and Comparing Data.

  Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore

  

  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
  Agresti & Franklin

  ISBN-10: 0135131995 | ISBN-13: 9780135131992
  Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore

  

  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.

  Stats: Modeling the World, 2/E

  ISBN-10: 0321375599 | ISBN-13: 9780321375599
  Brief Description

  

  By leading with practical data analysis and graphics, Stats: Modeling the World gets students “doing statistics” and “thinking statistically” from the start. Students understand what we find in data, why we find it interesting, and how we report it to others as a sound foundation for the challenges of inference. Instructors praise Stats: Modeling the World  as clear and accessible to students, and students report that they enjoy reading the text while learning how to do Statistics with the Think, Show, and Tell rubric and What Can Go Wrong? sections.

   

  Now even easier to read and use, every chapter of this Second Edition features new exercises graded by level of difficulty, Just Checking questions that check students’ understanding of key concepts, and What Have We Learned? sections that summarize the main topics covered in each chapter.
