Summary

For algebra-based Introductory Statistics courses. Offering the most accessible approach to statistics, with a strong visual/graphical emphasis, this book offers a vast number of examples on the premise that students learn best by "doing". The fourth edition features many updates and revisions that place increased emphasis on interpretation of results and critical thinking in addition to calculations. This emphasis on "statistical literacy" is reflective of the GAISE recommendations.

(Note: Each chapter begins with Where You've Been and Where You're Going sections and concludes with Uses and Abuses, Chapter Summary, Review Exercises, Chapter Quiz, Real Statistics-Real Decisions Putting it all Together, and Technology sections.)
