Synopsis

David Moore’s data analysis (conceptual) approach, which revolutionized the introductory statistics textbook, moves students away from formulas and number-crunching, focusing instead on how working statisticians in a variety of fields collect and analyze data, and use the results to tackle real-world problems.
The clear, direct way of emphasizing the course’s relevance and confronting students’ math anxieties is at the heart of the bestselling The Basic Practice of Statistics. It is also the ideal approach for taking full advantage of the powerful statistical tools and interactive learning features in this new edition’s text/media package. Now more than ever, this textbook is ready to help students move from reading about statistical practice to practicing statistics themselves.  This option is for the LaunchPad version of the textbook. LaunchPad is an interactive online resource that helps students achieve better results. LaunchPad combines an interactive e-book with high-quality multimedia content and ready-made assessment options, including LearningCurve, our adaptive quizzing resource, to engage your students and develop their understanding. Features included: 

• Pre-built Units for each chapter, curated by experienced educators, with media for that chapter organized and ready to assign or customize to suit your course.
  
• Intuitive and useful analytics, with a Gradebook that lets you see how your class is doing individually and as a whole.
• A streamlined and intuitive interface that lets you build an entire course in minutes.

LearningCurve is also included in the LaunchPad. In a game-like fashion, LearningCurve contains adaptive and formative quizzing providing an effective way to get students involved in the coursework. It offers: 

• A unique learning path for each student, with quizzes shaped by each individual's correct and incorrect answers.
  
• A Personalised Study Plan, to guide students' preparation for class and for exams.
  
• Feedback for each question with live links to relevant e-book pages, guiding students to the reading they need to do to improve their areas of weakness.
