In addition, students get more exposure to large data sets and multivariate thinking, which better prepares them to be critical consumers of statistics in the 21st century.The 5th Edition's approach to teaching intro stats is revolutionary, while retaining its lively tone and popular features such as Think/Show/Tell examples.Also available with MyLab Statistics Used by nearly one million students a year, MyLab(TM) Statistics is the world's leading online program for teaching and learning statistics. MyLab Statistics delivers assessment, tutorials, and multimedia resources that provide engaging and personalized experiences for each student, so learning can happen in any environment. Each course is developed to accompany Pearson's best-selling content, authored by thought leaders across the statistics curriculum, and can be easily customized to fit any course format.

This is a really decent statistics textbook for an introductory course. It has de-emphasized the arduous calculations and focused instead on understanding and interpreting data and statistical methods. I'm teaching from it now at the local community college.

No longer using this website, but I'm leaving up old reviews. Fuck Jeff Bezos. Find me on LibraryThing: https://www.librarything.com/profile/...

I read this book as part of a distance learning class at the University of Florida, a class I took at the same time as I took Anatomy & Physiology I and II, which use the book Anatomy and Physiology: From Science to Life. That book was so atrocious that it made reading this book almost leisure reading.

The book is funny, it has interesting anecdotes and was written clearly by teachers for whom the material had been tread many times. The design is impeccable, and you never feel like you are being attacked by text. You are also given clearly marked extra knowledge which I think enriches the text.

I feel like a total nerd for continuing to go on about this textbook, but really, having such a bad textbook in my other classes really made me appreciate this one. Furthermore, I did almost no leisure reading the past six months, and I need some kind of review to show for my last six months of life.

From someone who really detests math, this was an incredible book. The authors are, dare I say it, funny. I learned a lot from this book, it was easy to read, and the examples were current and well worked. I would definitely recommend this book for a stats class - and if you are required to have this book for a class, read it, it helps tremendously.

For a text book (and a math text book at that...), this is a really funny book. Certainly a great way to learn Stats.

Bring on the pain.

[McKay · Rating 1 out of 5]

Well how do I say this?...the book was actually really a great teaching tool and my professor was great, but the content stunk! I really struggled with this course and am thrilled that it is over!

Wish me luck!

Je rêve de produire un livre de statistiques similaire à celui-ci, mais en français et sous licence Creative Commons (ou équivalent).
