MyLab Statistics (up to 18-weeks) for Interactive Statistics: Informed Decisions Using Data

Published 2023

Interactive Statistics: Informed Decisions Using Data encourages you to do statistics actively as you learn, experiencing statistics in new and dynamic ways as you encounter concepts. Written fully in MyLab^® Statistics, it combines text, multimedia and assessment into a seamless learning experience. Interactive Assignments for each chapter section prompt you to “read a little, watch a little, do a little” to develop deeper conceptual connections. This practical approach in an interactive, guided learning environment promotes deeper understanding, knowledge retention and ability to connect statistics to the world at large. The 3rd Edition updates and adds content throughout to content, data, and the MyLab platform.
