Statistics: Principles and Methods
by Richard Johnson Gouri BhattacharyyaStatistics: Principles and Methods, 8th Edition provides students and business professionals with a comprehensive introduction to statistics concepts, terminology, and methods with a wide array of practical applications. Real-world data provides an easily relatable frame of reference, while numerous examples reinforce key ideas and demonstrate critical concepts to help ease student comprehension. Designed for those seeking a highly practical introduction to statistical measurement, reasoning, and analysis, this book requires no specific mathematical background and leaves derivations behind in favor of logic, reasoning, and modern statistics software. <P><P>Concepts are introduced first in a real-life setting to illustrate immediate relevancy, and are subsequently expanded to relate underlying mechanisms, limitations, and further applications. An emphasis on the relationship between validity and assumptions underscores the importance of critical thinking and the use of appropriate models while instilling thoughtful habits that lead to accuracy in interpretation. Going beyond the typical introductory text to keep the focus on application, this book gives students a deeper understanding of statistics as it is used every day across disciplines and industries.
Statistics: The Art and Science of Learning from Data (2nd Edition)
by Alan Agresti Christine FranklinAlan Agresti and Chris Franklin have merged their research and classroom experience to develop this successful introductory statistics text. Statistics: The Art and Science of Learning from Data, Second Edition helps readers become statistically literate by encouraging them to ask and answer interesting statistical questions. It takes the ideas that have turned statistics into a central science in modern life and makes them accessible and engaging to readers without compromising necessary rigor.
Statistics: The Art and Science of Learning from Data (Fourth Edition)
by Alan Agresti Christine Franklin Bernhard KlingenbergThe fourth edition of this textbook aims at improving the student and instructor user experience to learn statistics from the traditional formula-driven mathematical statistics course to a concept-driven approach. This concept-driven approach places more emphasis on why statistics is important in the real world and places less emphasis on mathematical probability. The book aims to help students make the conceptual approach more interesting and more readily accessible.
Statistics: Unlocking the Power of Data
by Patti Frazer Lock Robin H. Lock Kari Lock Morgan Eric F. Lock Dennis F. LockStatistics: Unlocking the Power of Data, 3rd Edition is designed for an introductory statistics course focusing on data analysis with real-world applications. Students use simulation methods to effectively collect, analyze, and interpret data to draw conclusions. Randomization and bootstrap interval methods introduce the fundamentals of statistical inference, bringing concepts to life through authentically relevant examples. More traditional methods like t-tests, chi-square tests, etc. are introduced after students have developed a strong intuitive understanding of inference through randomization methods. While any popular statistical software package may be used, the authors have created StatKey to perform simulations using data sets and examples from the text. A variety of videos, activities, and a modular chapter on probability are adaptable to many classroom formats and approaches. <P><P><i>Advisory: Bookshare has learned that this book offers only partial accessibility.

Stats in Your World
by Richard D. De Veaux Paul F. Velleman David E. Bock Thomas J. Mariano“This text presents Statistics as a key tool for thinking about the world. By leading with real-world examples, clear graphics, and practical data analysis, we get students "doing Statistics" quickly and "thinking statistically" right from the start. The questions that motivate our hundreds of examples and exercises highlight the wide applicability of Statistics, teach the methods and procedures of proper data analysis, and--most importantly--emphasize thinking about what the results mean. We modeled the first edition on Stats: Modeling the World, the highly successful AP® Statistics book, and have been thrilled by feedback from all sides. Teachers are delighted that students can and do learn from reading the text, and their students say (to their amazement) that they even find the book enjoyable. The book's engaging style, support for underlying math skills, and scaffolded materials that enable success for all students tie all the skills and concepts to the world we live in. In this course and with this textbook, you can say goodbye to that oft-uttered math class question, "When does anyone ever use this stuff?"!” – from the book.
Stats: Data and Models, 4th edition
by Richard D. De Veaux Paul F. Velleman David E. BockWith a conversational, humorous, and informal writing style, this new edition engages students from the first page. The authors focus on statistical thinking throughout the text and rely on technology for calculations. As a result, students can focus on developing their conceptual understanding. Innovative Think/Show/Tell examples give students a problem-solving framework and, more importantly, a way to think through any statistics problem and present their results.
Stats: Modeling The World (Fourth Edition)
by Richard D. De Veaux Paul F. Velleman David E. Bock Paul D. VellemanClear, accessible, and teachable, Stats: Modeling the World leads with practical data analysis and graphics to engage students and get them thinking statistically from the start. Through updated, relevant examples and data--and the authors' signature Think, Show, and Tell problem-solving method--students learn what we can find in data, why we find it interesting, and how to report it to others. The new Fourth Edition is even more engaging than previous editions, builds on the innovative features that have made the first three editions so popular, and includes revisions designed to make it even easier for students to put the concepts of statistics together in a coherent whole.
Stats: Modeling the World (1st edition)
by Richard D. De Veaux Paul F. Velleman David E. BockBy leading with practical data analysis and graphics, the text gets students "doing statistics" quickly and "thinking statistically" from the start. This introduction to statistics is accessible to students pursuing careers in a variety of disciplines ranging from the social sciences of psychology and sociology to areas such as education, the allied health fields, business, economics, engineering, the humanities, the physical sciences, journalism, communications, and liberal arts.
Stats: Modeling the World (3rd edition)
by Richard D. De Veaux Paul F. Velleman David E. BockStats: Modeling the World, Third Edition is written from the ground up with the understanding that statistics is practiced with technology. This insight informs everything from our choice of forms for equations (favoring intuitive forms over calculation forms) to our extensive use of real data. Most important, it allows us to focus on teaching statistical thinking rather than calculation.
