UNDERSTANDABLE STATISTICS: CONCEPTS AND METHODS, Eleventh Edition, is a thorough yet accessible program designed to help you overcome any apprehensions you may have about statistics. The authors provide clear guidance and informal advice while showing you the links between statistics and the world. To reinforce this approach--and make the material interesting as well as easier to understand--the book integrates real-life data from a variety of sources, including journals, periodicals, newspapers, and the Internet. You'll also have opportunities to develop your critical-thinking and statistical literacy skills through special features and exercises throughout the text. Interactive online resources offer you extra study assistance and tutorial support--including step-by-step video solutions--outside of class. The use of graphing calculators, Excel (R), MINITAB (R), and SPSS (R) is covered although not required.
