Title overview

For courses in Introductory Statistics

From Mike Sullivan's classroom to yours, an approach that helps students put statistical concepts together. With Fundamentals of Statistics, author and instructor Mike Sullivan III draws on his passion for statistics and teaching to provide the tools students need to see that statistics is connected, not only within individual concepts, but also in the world at large. Mike Sullivan pulls ideas and strategies used in his classroom into more than 350 new and updated exercises, over 100 new and updated examples, new Retain Your Knowledge problems, and Big Data problems. By taking advantage of the latest statistical software, students can focus on building conceptual understanding rather than memorising formulas.
