This edition of Larry Kitchens' EXPLORING STATISTICS is a quintessentially modern introduction to statistics. To an unprecedented degree, the book emphasizes data analysis throughout, continually illustrating key role data analysis plays in modern statistics. Kitchens also stresses hands-on experience, working with real data (more than 400 real data sets are included), and discovery through graphical displays and computer simulations. Preparing students to be both "consumers" and "producers" of statistics, Kitchens' approach gives them the tools and information they need to succeed in both roles.
Combining the strength of the data analysis approach and the power of technology, the new edition features powerful and helpful new media supplements, enhanced teacher support materials, and full integration of the TI-83 and TI-89 graphing calculators.
