Data analysis for everyone

Data in the real world are dynamic and sometimes messy. This complexity can intimidate students who are new to math and statistics ― but it’s also what makes statistics so interesting! 

Embracing these characteristics, Introductory Statistics teaches students how to explore and analyze real data to answer real-world problems. Crafted by authors who are active in the classroom and in the statistics education community, the 3rd Edition pairs a clear, conversational writing style with new and frequent opportunities to apply statistical thinking. Its tone and learning aids are designed to equip any student to analyze, interpret, and tell a story about modern data, regardless of the student’s mathematical proficiency.

Also available with MyLab Statistics
