About the Book

For undergraduates with a background in college algebra in an introductory statistics course.More than any of its competition, this text integrates technology into the teaching of the introductory statistics course. Both Microsoft Excel and MINITAB are incorporated as tools for data analysis into a practical introduction to statistics. Real-world applications and critical thinking skills are emphasized throughout to prepare students for the workplace.

Table of Contents:
Microsoft Excel Primer. MINITAB Primer. 1. Introduction: Statistics and Data. What Is Statistics? Types of Data. Descriptive vs. Inferential Statistics. Collecting Data. Random Sampling. Other Types of Samples. Ethical Issues and Other Concerns in Statistical Applications. What Readers Need to Know about Microsoft Excel, the PHStat Add-In, and Minitab for this textbook. 2. Exploring Data with Graphs and Tables. The Objective of Data Description. Describing a Single Qualitative Variable: Frequency Tables, Bar Graphs and Pie Charts. Describing a Single Qualitative Variable: Frequency Tables, Dot Plots, Stem-and-Leaf Displays and Histograms. Exploring the Relationship between Two Qualitative Variables: Cross-Classification Tables and Side-by-Side Bar Charts. Exploring the Relationship between Two Quantitative Variables: Scatterplots. Proper Graphical Presentation. 3. Exploring Quantitative Data with Numerical Descriptive Measures. Objectives of Numerical Descriptive Measures. Summation Notation. Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median, and Mode. Measures of Variation: Range, Variance, and Standard Deviation. Interpreting the Standard Deviation.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
