Features

Extensive Excel instruction offers detailed explanations of techniques for performing statistical analysis in Excel. 122 screenshots ensure that readers never miss a step. Technology Icons point out exercises that use Excel, and Excel Projects are included among the variety of end-of-chapter features.
Real data are infused throughout the entire text. Triola is known for keeping his text very up-to-date and for including real data wherever possible so that students recognize the statistics in their everyday lives.

Of the 257 examples in the text, 94% use real data and 86% are new to this edition.
Of the 2011 exercises, 82% of the exercises draw from real data and 87% are new.
Data sets help students gain statistical literacy and teach them to apply the same methodology and thought processes used by professional statisticians. Data sets are included in the textbook (Appendix B), and in multiple electronic formats in MyStatLab^®, on the included CD-ROM, and at our website.

The flexible organization allows instructors to cover the basics of correlation and regression early in the course if they wish, and scale coverage of probability as needed to address their unique course needs.
Extensive practice opportunities and review tools appear at the end of every chapter, and include the following items.

Chapter Reviews summarize the key concepts and topics.
Review Exercises, Statistical Literacy, and Critical Thinking exercises give students varied practice on chapter concepts and procedures.
Cumulative Review Exercises help students synthesize the material from previous chapters.
From Data to Decision capstone problems require students to interpret and analyze data to make an informed decision.
Quick Quizzes at the end of the chapter gives students a quick review of the important concepts in the chapter.
Technology, Applet, and Internet Projects provide further opportunities for hands-on practice and collaborative group work.

An increased emphasis on interpreting results, rather than simply obtaining answers, helps students develop statistical literacy and, where appropriate, arrive at practical conclusions. Worked examples in the text model this approach.
Chapter-opening problems use real data to engage students, while chapter overviews clearly state each chapter's objectives.
Flowcharts throughout the text simplify and clarify complex concepts and procedures.
MyStatLab is available for Triola’s text for those who use online homework, quizzes and tests in their course. This is a way to encourage students to practice without needing to grade work by hand. Visit our website for more information.

New To This Edition

More than 2,000 exercises engage students with real data and give them the varied practice they need to master the concepts. 87% are new for this edition.

Chapter Quick Quizzes at the end of each chapter provide ongoing assessment of content mastery.
All-new chapter problems and 221 new examples reinforce real-world applications with current, relevant material.

Expanded coverage includes new and revised information on bar graphs and multiple bar graphs, tests of independence, tests of homogeneity, the Fisher exact test, and one-way ANOVAs with both equal and unequal sample sizes. This edition also includes new sections on Statistical Thinking (1—2) and Critical Thinking: Bad Graphs (2—5), plus a combined section on Measures of Relative Standing and Boxplots (3—4).
In-text study aids help students master the material.

Margin Essays (15% new) include high-interest topics such as the iPod^® Shuffle to illustrate uses and abuses of statistics.
New and updated Interviews feature real-world content from companies such as Google, AirTran, and Nielsen.
“Caution” sidebars are included throughout the book to draw attention to potentially serious errors.

The latest methods used by professional statisticians are included in this edition, as well as the Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) developed by the American Statistical Association.
The included CD-ROM contains Triola’s own statistical software, STATDISK^® (Version 11), as well as data sets from Appendix B; a section on Bayes’ Theorem; a glossary; programs for the TI-83/84 Plus graphing calculator; and the Excel^® add-in DDXL, which is designed to enhance Excel’s statistics capabilities.
STATDISK Statistical Software is included with every new text. Version 11 includes Normality Assessment (on-screen display with histogram, boxplot, normal-quantile plot, number of outliers, and Ryan-Joiner test) and modified boxplot allowing more than 9 columns of data.
A detachable formula and table card insert, organized by chapter and featuring the most commonly used tables, gives students a quick reference for studying.
