A variety of computer-based examples and exercises, unparalleled internet coverage, and a robust, technology-based ancillary package are designed to help students master their subject. Acknowledging the importance of spreadsheets and statistical softwawre in their statistical instruction, the authors continue to integrate Excel and Minitab output throughout the text. In addition, a new enhanced version of MegaStat, an Excel add-in program designed to optimize Excel for statistical application, is available free on the student CD. For students and instructors who want to explore statistical concepts from a graphical perspective, Visual Statistics is again available on the student CD. Icons in the text margins identify areas that are further explored and enhanced through the use of Visual Statistics.
