Overview

For courses in Introductory Statistics (algebra-based).

Gets students thinking statistically from the start

Stats: Modeling the World leads with practical data analysis and graphics to engage students and get them to think in a statistical context. Relevant examples and data along with the authors' signature Think, Show, and Tell problem-solving method help students learn to approach a question, solve the problem and communicate meaning.

In the 5th Edition, new co-author Floyd Bullard introduces a greater emphasis on simulations as a powerful pedagogical tool. Accompanying applets give students the opportunity to explore important ideas, providing greater conceptual depth that will prepare them to apply their statistical knowledge in this course and beyond.
