Description

Addison-Wesley is proud to celebrate the Tenth Edition of Elementary Statistics. This text is highly regarded because of its engaging and understandable introduction to statistics. The author's commitment to providing student-friendly guidance through the material and giving students opportunities to apply their newly learned skills in a real-world context has made Elementary Statistics the #1 best-seller in the market.

Students learning from Elementary Statistics should have completed an elementary algebra course. Although formulas and formal procedures can be found throughout the text, the emphasis is on development of statistical literacy and critical thinking.

Features

Over 1750 exercises: More than 68% of the exercises are new, including more exercises that use small data sets.
Margin Essays: 122 margin essays, including Statistics in the News essays, illustrate uses and abuses of statistics using, practical and interesting applications.
Flowcharts: Flowcharts throughout the text simplify and clarify complex concepts and procedures.
Interpreting Results: An increased emphasis on interpreting results, rather than simply obtaining answers, helps students make sense of the results and, where appropriate, state a practical conclusion. Worked examples in the text model this approach.
Large Data Sets: Appendix B includes 18 large data sets, including 4 that are new and 3 others with new data.
Technology: STATDISK®, Minitab®, Excel®, and TI-83/84 Plus instructions and output appear throughout the text.
Chapter-opening features: A chapter-opening problem using real data motivates the chapter material alongside a chapter overview, which states the chapter's objectives.
End-of-chapter features:

Chapter Reviews summarize the key concepts and topics of the chapter.
Review Exercises offer practice on chapter concepts and procedures.
Cumulative Review Exercises reinforce earlier material.
From Data to Decision: Critical Thinking capstone problems; Cooperative Group Activities; Technology Projects and Internet Projects are included in every chapter.

Statistics @ Work: Each chapter contains new and updated interviews with a diverse selection of professionals that explain how using particular statistical concepts helps them excel in their careers.
CD-ROM: Bound in new copies of the book, it contains the large data sets from Appendix B in electronic formats for MINITAB, Excel, the TI-83/84 Plus, SAS®, and SPSS®, and as text files; STATDISK® (Version 10.1) statistical software; DDXL, an Excel add-in; TI-83/84 Programs; and a section on Baye’s Theorem.

New To This Edition

Top 20 Topics: In this edition, Triola identifies the Top 20 topics that are essential in an introductory statistics course. These topics are identified with an icon in the text. Students using MyStatLab have access to additional resources that link these topics to definitions, animations, and video lessons.
More small data sets: This edition has many more exercises that involve small data sets.
Many new exercises and examples: 68% of the exercises and 66% of the examples are new.
Statistical Literacy and Critical Thinking Exercises: Each exercise set now begins with four exercises that specifically involve statistical literacy and encourage critical thinking.
Exercise answers: For all numerical answers, both table and technology results are provided.
Requirement Check: In the worked examples, where appropriate, solutions begin with a formal check of the requirements that must be verified before a particular method is used.
Technology inclusion: STATDISK, Minitab, Excel, and the TI-83/84 are the technologies included in the book with instructions, but screen captures from SPSS and SAS are now included as well.
Visualizing Data: The section on Visualizing Data has been divided into two sections, (2-3) Histograms and (2-4) Statistical Graphics, with an increased emphasis on statistical graphics.
Chapter 2: The material in Chapter 2 has been divided into two chapters: Chapter 2, Summarizing and Graphing Data, and Chapter 3, Statistics for Describing, Exploring, and Comparing Data.
New topics: New sections on McNemar’s Test for Matched Pairs (Chapter 11) and Bayes’ Theorem (on CD-ROM) have been added by popular demand.

ISBN-10: 0321694503 | ISBN-13: 9780321694508
Net price: $120.00 (What's this?)Brief Description |
Mario Triola’s Elementary Statistics remains the market-leading introductory statistics textbook because it engages students with an abundance of real data in the examples, applications, and exercises. Statistics is all around us in our daily lives, and Triola is dedicated to finding new real-world examples and data sets for you to use in your classroom.

The Eleventh Edition contains more than 2,000 exercises, 87% of which are new, and 82% of which use real data. It also contains hundreds of examples, 86% of which are new and 94% of which use real data. By analyzing real data, students are able to connect abstract concepts to the world at large. As a result, they gain conceptual understanding and learn to think statistically, using the same methods that professional statisticians employ.

The Technology Update includes new instruction that covers major advancements in statistics software since the first printing of the Eleventh Edition.

A new Student Workbook offers even greater opportunity for students to apply their knowledge and practice as they progress through the course. The workbook can be packaged with any Triola textbook.

Now instructors can encourage students to practice without needing to grade work by hand: MyStatLab is an online assessment and tutorial system available with this text. Visit our website for more information.

Data sets and other resources for this book are available at our website.
