Elementary Statistics, Third Edition is a conceptual and procedural course in introductory statistics. It has been developed around three central themes: clarity, quality, and accuracy, based on extensive market research and feedback from statistics instructors across the country.
High-quality exercises, clear examples, author-created supplements, and fully integrated technology make this one of the more masterful elementary statistics courses available. The text and supplements are flexible enough to work effectively with a wide variety of instructor styles; for example, the text covers both P-value and critical value approaches to hypothesis testing. Improvements to this third edition include a new objective on the weighted mean, recent real data in new exercises and case studies, and a new supplement focused on prerequisite skills.Because statistics instructors universally agree that using real data better engages students, most examples and exercises in this text use real-life data; in fact, more than 750 actual applications of statistics appear within the book, and topics and their pages can be found in an index. Each section contains step-by-step instructions explaining how to use multiple forms of technology to carry out the procedures explained in the text.

•After each concept is explained, Check Your Understanding exercises determine whether students understand the material or need to review.
•Marginal Explain It Again notes reinforce important concepts.
