Student Solutions Manual for Elementary Statistics Using the TI-83/84 Plus Calculator

• Chapter 1, Section 3 presents an early introduction to the type of data most commonly encountered by Statisticians. These data sets are large and include unknown or missing values, giving students insight into the challenges of analyzing real data.

• Real data: More than any other statistics author, Marty Triola is committed to integrating real data into the text with >90% of all examples, exercises, and problems using real data. In the 6th 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 so that it is easier for instructors to connect with their students.

• Larger data sets are integrated in the 6th Edition, giving students critical experience that aligns with what they are likely to do in their future careers—whatever they may be. These are in MyLab Statistics, in Appendix B of the text, and the student resource site (www.TriolaStats.com).

Empower any student to apply and interpret statistics and improve understanding

• Chapter 2, Section 4 presents scatterplots, correlation, and regression early – before descriptive statistics. Introducing these key concepts from the beginning with help students see its relevance to statistical understanding. The bulk of correlation and regression instruction occurs in Chapter 10.

• Chapter 4, Section 3: Bayes Theorem has been added back to the printed text, previously only available online. This section offers a continuation of the discussion about conditional probability.

• Chapter 7, Section 4 has been added to give special attention to Bootstrapping, a concept that is becoming more mainstream as it is included more widely in statistical software programs. This section logically follows the three preceding sections that cover estimated proportions, means and standard deviation.

• 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.

• 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 6th 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 so that it is easier for instructors to connect with students.

• 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 6th Edition, giving students critical experience that aligns with what they are likely to do in their future careers–whatever they may be. These are in MyLab Statistics, in Appendix B of the text, and the student resource site (www.TriolaStats.com).

• An increased emphasis on interpreting results, rather than simply obtaining answers, helps students develop statistical literacy and, where appropriate, arrive at practical conclusions. Worked examples in the text model this approach.

Empower any student to apply and interpret Statistics procedures, getting to statistical understanding faster

• 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.

• The flexible organization allows instructors to cover the basics of correlation and regression early in the course if they wish, and scale coverage of probability as needed to address their unique course needs.

• Flowcharts throughout the text simplify and clarify complex concepts and procedures.

• The Student Workbook is an optional print resource that offers additional examples, concept exercises, and vocabulary exercises for each chapter. Full solutions are available for instructors.
