We are grateful for the overwhelming acceptance of the first five editions. It is gratifying to know that our vision of combining theory, pedagogy, and design to exemplify how statistics is used to picture and describe the world has helped students learn about statistics and make informed decisions.
Chapter Tests New to this edition are comprehensive tests that appear at the end of each chapter. These tests allow students to assess their understanding of the concepts of the chapter. The questions are given in random order. The section defines and includes an example on how to find a percentile that corresponds to a specific data entry as well as an example on comparing [email protected] from different data sets.
The same objectives are then used as subsection titles throughout the section. Definitions and Formulas are clearly presented in easy-to-locate boxes. They are often followed by Guidelines, which explain In Words and In Symbols how to apply the formula or understand the definition. Margin Features help reinforce understanding:.
Round-off Rules guide the student during calculations. Each feature concludes with a question and can be used for general class discussion or group work. Examples and Exercises Examples Every concept in the text is clearly illustrated with one or more step-by-step examples.
Most examples have an interpretation step that shows the student how the solution may be interpreted within the real-life context of the example and promotes critical thinking and writing skills.
Each example, which is numbered and titled for easy reference, is followed by a similar exercise called Try It Yourself so students can immediately practice the skill learned. Elementary probability theory, random variables, probability distributions, with emphasis on the binomial and normal. Sampling distributions, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, correlation and linear regression. Use of technology included. Elementary statistics: picturing the world by Larson, Ron, Publication date Topics.
