Intro Stats, Third Edition extends the teaching innovations pioneered in the DeVeaux/Velleman/Bock books. Its focus on statistical thinking and modern practice are evident throughout. Each chapter opens with an example–and the data from that example are then displayed and analyzed to introduce new concepts. Graphics and summaries introduced in early chapters are used throughout the book, helping students become consistent statistical thinkers.

 

Intro Stats, Third Edition has a fun, conversational writing style, real up-to-date data, hundreds of examples based on current events, and short, accessible chapters. The innovative Think/Show/Tell examples, pioneered in the first edition, now present new data and discussions. The new For Example sections illustrate each new concept or method with a brief, worked example.

 

This text covers all material typical in a one-semester statistics course, with supplemental chapters on analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression included on the book’s DVD-ROM. The text maintains its commitment to the recommendations of the ASA-endorsed GAISE (Guidelines for Assessment for Instruction in Statistical Education) Report.

  • The conversational writing style maintains student interest without sacrificing content. In this edition, the authors have further refined sections throughout the book to make the discussion even clearer.
  • The Part/Chapter organization divides the text into manageable pieces and places them so that each new concept fits comfortably with those that students have learned.
  • Think, Show, Tell teaches students how to think about and work through each example. All worked examples start with a clear question, ask students to think about how to address the question, show the work they did to solve it, and tell their conclusion in the context of the original question. Worked examples have been brought up-to-date with new topics and data.
  • Just Checking: this edition contains even more Just Checking exercises within each chapter to ensure that students understand key ideas before moving on. Most involve very little calculation. Answers are provided at the end of the chapter.
  • What Can Go Wrong? sections at the end of every chapter help students avoid common errors and misconceptions in statistics.
  • By Hand boxes guide students through the calculation of a worked example, showing the mathematics behind the statistics. This text encourages the use of technology, but also recognizes the benefits of understanding how to perform calculations by hand.
  • What Have We Learned? sections at the end of each chapter highlight the concepts learned in the chapter, define new terms and identify where they were introduced, and list the skills that students should have acquired in their reading. This practical study guide ensures that students are fully prepared for exams.
  • ActivStats® Pointers highlight concept videos, teaching applets, and animations in ActivStats that parallel the discussions in the book.
  • On the Computer sections teach students how to use the most popular statistics packages (Data Desk, Excel®, JMP®, Minitab®, SPSS®, and the TI-83/84 Plus and TI-89 graphing calculators) to calculate statistics; many provide annotated output to help students learn to use and understand data.
  • Exercise sets are paired and ordered by level of difficulty. Many are marked with a “T” to indicate that there is an accompanying data set on the book’s DVD-ROM.
  • The DVD-ROM included with every new copy of the text contains ActivStats (a multimedia presentation that follows this text’s table of contents) with Data Desk statistical software; ActivStats (developed by one of the text authors) includes 70 animations and teaching applets, 300 data sets, and 17 brief concept videos. Also included on the DVD are two additional chapters on analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression; the Excel add-in DDXL®, which adds graphical and statistical methods to Excel and Excel 2007; and data sets formatted for Minitab, Excel, JMP, SPSS, the TI 83-84/Plus and TI-89 graphing calculators.
  • Instructor’s Podcasts (10 points in 10 minutes) summarize the key point of every chapter and offer teaching tips and extra examples to use in class. Instructors can listen on their iPods, online, or on their computers before class. These are available on the Adjunct and Instructor Support site and within MyStatLab.

  • For Example: more than 100 additional examples (4-5 per chapter) illustrate how to apply each new concept and method. These add to the fully worked step-by-step and in-text examples.
  • Where Are We Going? sections added to the chapter openers connect previous material with upcoming topics. These introductions emphasize real-world problems that students will learn to solve.
  • Current data ensures that this book remains relevant to students and their interests. Most of the data used in examples and exercises are real and have been updated for the new edition. Data come from news stories and some from recent research articles. Whenever possible, the data are on the DVD so students can explore them further.
  • Hundreds of new exercises, including more single-concept exercises, prepare students for the more comprehensive exercises.
  • Chapters 4 and 5 have been entirely rewritten and reorganized to provide a more exciting and interesting way to approach these fundamental topics. Chapter 4 discusses displays and summaries for quantitative data and then Chapter 5 expands on these ideas to discuss comparisons across groups, outliers, and other more sophisticated topics.
  • Chapter 11 includes a clearer discussion of simulation to better connect it with discussions of experimental design and probability. The simulations included in the ActivStats multimedia software on the included DVD-ROM carry these ideas forward in a student-friendly fashion.
  • The Integrated Instructor’s Guide appears before each part of the book and includes chapter-by-chapter comments on the major concepts, tips on presenting topics (including what to say, what not to say, and what not to say quite yet), extra teaching examples, and a list of resources.
  • Video Lectures for each chapter of the text show the authors delivering a 7-10 minute review of the important points of the chapter. Instructors then show students how to solve statistics problems by carefully working through an example from the text using the authors’ hallmark Think/Show/Tell problem-solving method.
  • Animated Activities and Teaching Applets help students understand difficult concepts by allowing them to see and manipulate data. The 19 applets within MyStatLab and the 170 animated activities in ActivStats provide an interactive approach to learning statistics.

    • 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.

    • For algebra-based Introductory Statistics Courses.

     

    The overarching goal of this text is to empower students to be statistical thinkers

     

    Alan Agresti and Chris Franklin have merged their research expertise, as well as their extensive real-world and teaching experience, to develop a new introductory statistics text that makes students statistically literate, while encouraging them to ask and answer interesting statistical questions. The authors have successfully crafted a text that 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 understand that most of the real-world data that students encounter outside the class room are categorical data.  Unlike many texts at this level, Agresti/Franklin incorporates categorical data where appropriate and draws distinctions between theory and practical application of statistical ideas and methods.

     

    The text was written, from the ground up, to embrace and support the 6 recommendations of the ASA endorsed GAISE (Guidelines for Assessment for Instruction in Statistical Education) Report - http://www.amstat.org/education/gaise/GAISECollege.htm:

    • Emphasize statistical literacy and develop statistical thinking.
    • Use real data.
    • Stress conceptual understanding rather than mere knowledge of procedures.
    • Foster active learning in the classroom.
    • Use technology for developing  concepts and analyzing data.
    • Use assessment to evaluate and improve student learning.

     

    Comes with a CD containing data sets, additional activities, and applets.  The CD with the IE, furthermore, includes Instructor-to-Instructor videos which further detail, by chapter, the authors approach and provides suggestions on how to present concepts. These Instructor-to-Instructor videos are very complimentary to the IE chapter introductions.

    Brief Description

    • 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.

    • 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.
