For courses in Introductory Statistics.
This ISBN is for the 18-week MyLab access card. Pearson eText is included.
An approach that helps you put statistical concepts together—from the author's classroom
Mike Sullivan draws on his passion for both statistics and teaching to help students grasp that statistics is connected, not only in concepts, but to the world at large. Used first with Sullivan’s own students, Fundamentals of Statistics (the brief version of Sullivan’s Statistics: Informed Decisions Using Data) pulls ideas and strategies from his classroom into a wealth of new and updated exercises, examples, and MyLab® problems, new videos, and much more.
By using the latest statistical software, students can focus on building true understanding rather than memorizing formulas. All resources, including the Student Activity Workbook and Author in the Classroom videos, were created by Mike for his classroom and are available to help all students succeed and stay engaged.
