Summary

Chris Olsen has teamed up with Roxy Peck and Jay Devore to create INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICS AND DATA ANALYSIS. Based on STATISTICS: THE EXPLORATION OF ANALYSIS AND DATA, Fourth Edition, this new book integrates the graphing calculator and includes expanded coverage of probability. This innovative book focuses on the analysis of real data to motivate the study of statistics. Traditional in structure yet modern in approach, this book places an increased emphasis on data collection and exploratory analysis.
