Book Description
Roxy Peck, Chris Olsen and Jay Devore's new edition uses real data and attention-grabbing examples to introduce students to the study of statistical output and methods of data analysis. Based on the best-selling STATISTICS: THE EXPLORATION AND ANALYSIS OF DATA, Fifth Edition, this new INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICS AND DATA ANALYSIS, Second Edition integrates coverage of the graphing calculator and includes expanded coverage of probability. Traditional in structure yet modern in approach, this text guides students through an intuition-based learning process that stresses interpretation and communication of statistical information. Conceptual comprehension is cemented by the simplicity of notation--frequently substituting words for symbols. Simple notation helps students grasp concepts. Hands-on activities and Seeing Statistics applets in each chapter allow students to practice statistics firsthand.

Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis (Hardcover)
The authors are renowned for their work in producing clear, modern, thought-provoking statistics textbooks. This book differs from Statistics: The Exploration and Analysis of Data, 5th Ed. in that it has a more expansive discussion of probability. It also differs from that title in having more specific calculator exercises, but has the same great features of all editions of all textbooks from the same authors. Prefer this title to Statistics: The Exploration and Analysis of Data, 5th Ed. if you want more detail and depth on probability, and more practice with using an electronic calculator to explore statistics.
