Great efforts were made to extensively incorporate real data in the exercises and examples to pique your students’ interest and show the relevance of statistics.
Step-by-Step Examples guide students from problem to solution in easy-to-follow steps. Solutions are also provided via video (by hand, TI-84C, StatCrunch, and Excel). Follow-up exercises assess understanding of the material presented. Many of the examples also provide a traditional text solution. Technology steps are provided within examples that include video solutions using TI-84 calculators, StatCrunch, or Excel.

Applet Activities appear throughout the text and help students learn concepts through an experiential approach. Follow-up MyLab exercises assess the student’s understanding of the concepts.

In Other Words/Caution Animations Throughout the course, students encounter In Other Words animated videos with avatars. The In Other Words videos are meant to take statistical definitions and concepts and state them in simple, everyday language. The Caution animated videos are meant to alert students to the pitfalls in conducting statistical analysis.
