Now in its Fourth Edition, Weiss has a reputation for being thorough andprecise, and for using real data extensively throughout. Weiss Elementary Statistics is appropriate for a one-semesterintroductory statistics course. The Fourth Edition gives students a solidintroduction to statistics through a streamlined approach to probability thatprepares learners for more advanced topics. This course is useful and reality-based, employing technological tools such as MinitabA (R) Release 12, theTI-83 graphing calculator, Excel, and the Internet to investigate statisticalproblems.
Statistics text. I really dislike how quite a number of problems are explained not in the body of the text, but in the exercises. Also, there are significant problems with the online homework and quiz questions. Correct answers are often marked wrong and the professor has to adjust afterwards.
