95% of Introductory Statistics students will never take another statistics course. What do you want to learn?
 
Discover the Power of Real Data
 
Mario Triola remains the market-leading statistics author by engaging readers of each edition with an abundance of real data in the examples, applications, and exercises. Statistics is all around us, and Triola helps readers understand how this course will impact their lives beyond the classroom–as consumers, citizens, and professionals.
 
Essentials of Statistics, Fourth Edition is a more economical and streamlined introductory statistics text. Drawn from Triola’s Elementary Statistics, Eleventh Edition, this text provides the same student-friendly approach with material presented in a real-world context.
 
The Fourth Edition contains more than 1,700 exercises (18% more than the previous edition); 89% are new and 81% use real data. The book also contains hundreds of examples; 86% are new and 92% use real data. By analyzing real data, readers are able to connect abstract concepts to the world at large, teaching them to think statistically and apply their conceptual understanding using the same methods that professional statisticians employ.

Notă biografică

Mario F. Triola is a Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Dutchess Community College, where he has taught statistics for over 30 years. In addition to this text, Marty is the author of Elementary Statistics, Elementary Statistics Using Excel, Elementary Statistics Using the TI-83/84 Plus Calculator, and he is a co-author of Biostatistics for the Biological and Health Sciences, Statistical Reasoning for Everyday Life and Business Statistics. He has written several manuals and workbooks for technology supporting statistics education. Outside of the classroom, Marty has been a speaker at many conferences and colleges. His consulting work includes the design of casino slot machines and fishing rods, and he has worked with attorneys in determining probabilities in paternity lawsuits, identifying salary inequities based on gender, analyzing disputed election results, analyzing medical data, and analyzing medical school surveys. Marty has testified as an expert witness in New York State Supreme Court. The Text and Academic Authors Association has awarded Mario F.

Caracteristici

  • Real data are infused throughout the entire text. Triola is known for keeping his text up-to-date and including real data wherever possible so that students recognize the importance of statistics in their everyday lives.
    • Of the 225 examples in the text, 92% use real data and 86% are new to this edition.
    • Of the 1715 exercises, 81% of the exercises draw from real data and 89% 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 on the text’s companion 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 to address their unique course needs.
  • Extensive practice opportunities and review tools at the end of every chapter include the following:
    • Chapter Reviews summarize the key concepts and topics.
    • Review Exercises, Statistical Literacy, andCritical 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.
    • Chapter Quick Quizzes at the end of each 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Using Technology subsections include instructions for STATDISK®, Minitab®, Excel®, or a TI-83/84 Plus® calculator. Book-specific technology manuals are also available as valuepack options and include tutorial instructions, worked-out examples, and more.
  • 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.

Caracteristici noi

  • New Exercises: 89% of the exercises are new, including more exercises that use small data sets.
  • More small data sets make homework and in-class exercises more manageable.
  • Statistical Literacy and Critical Thinking Exercises begin each exercise set to promote statistical literacy and encourage critical thinking.
  • Exercise answers: For all numerical answers, both table and technology results are provided.
  • In the appropriate worked examples, solutions begin with a formal Requirement Check that verifies that a particular method is to be used.
  • Technology coverage includes instruction for STATDISK, Minitab®, Excel®, and the TI-83/84 as well as screen captures from SPSS/PASW® and SAS®.
  • Videos have been expanded and supplement most sections in the book, with many topics presented by the author. The videos feature graphing calculator technology coverage and worked-out Chapter Review Exercises.
  • MyStatLab™ provides instructors with a rich and flexible set of course materials, along with course-management tools that make it easy to deliver all or a portion of your course online. MyStatLab also provides students with a personalized interactive learning environment, where they can learn at their own pace and measure their progress.
  • 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.
