Description

New and updated features of this title

• UPDATED: Real data: Marty Triola is committed to integrating the most real data into his texts with more than 90% of all examples, exercises, and problems using real data. In the 5th Edition, the vast majority of these are new or updated (81% of exercises; 73% of examples; 93% of chapter problems) to make the course as current as possible.
• EXPANDED: Data sets help students gain statistical literacy and teach them to apply the same methodology and thought processes used by professional statisticians.
  • Larger data sets are integrated in the 5th Edition, giving students critical experience that aligns with what they are likely to do in their future careers.
  • These are found in Appendix B of the text, on the student resource site and in MyLab Statistics.
• An increased emphasis on interpreting results, rather than simply obtaining answers, helps students develop statistical literacy and arrive at practical conclusions where appropriate. Worked examples in the text model this approach.
• NEW: Your Turn feature in many examples directs students to a relevant exercise so that they can immediately apply what they just learned from the example.
