Mario F. Triola
From cybersecurity to drones and more, statistics shapes the world around us. Elementary Statistics offers current applications and abundant new real data to help students of all majors understand the role of statistics in our lives. The 14th Edition's updates keep the text more relevant and supportive than ever; a wealth of new data sets, exercises and examples along with larger data sets, content updates and new videos support students.
Elementary Statistics is part of a series that includes an Essentials version along with Elementary Statistics Using the Texas Instruments (TI)-83/84 Plus Calculator and Elementary Statistics Using Excel®.
Hallmark features of this title
- Readability is paramount. Great care is taken to ensure students of any major can find the text readable and applicable.
- Chapter objectives summarize key learning goals for each section in the chapter.
- Your Turn in many examples directs students to an applicable exercise so that they can immediately practice what they've just learned in an example.
- Flowcharts throughout help simplify and clarify more complex concepts and procedures visually.
- End-of-chapter features reinforce skills and ask students to think critically. Chapter Quick Quiz, Review Exercises and Cumulative Review provide practice. Collaborative Group Activities foster active learning, and From Data to Decision is a capstone chapter problem that requires critical thinking and writing.
New and updated features of this title
- Most exercises, examples, and chapter problems are based on real data for maximum relevance. 93% of the exercises use real data and 64% of exercises are new, keeping the problems current.
- Expanded data sets in appendix B have increased from 32 to 46 total, with 20 new to the 14th edition, including internet traffic, Disney World wait times, car data, commute times, candies, and taxi data.
- Larger data sets include sets with 6068, 3982, 5755, 8959, and 1000 cases, as well as big data sets with 465,506 cases and 31,784 cases. Working with such larger data sets is essential to students progressing into the age of big data and data science.
- New big (or very large) data projects appear near the end of each chapter.
- All new Chapter Problems open each chapter, using real data to motivate students about concepts; they are revisited within the chapter. New Chapter Problem icons mark examples that relate to the Chapter Problem, showing how different concepts and procedures can be applied to the real-world issue in the material.
- Revised Margin Essays: 134 margin essays highlight real-world topics and foster student interest; 36 are new to this edition. Also, many Go Figure items briefly describe interesting numbers or statistics.
- Expanded MyLab® exercise coverage gives students even more opportunities to practice and receive immediate feedback as they work.
- Enhanced Integrated Review exercises now include instruction within the exercises themselves.
- Integrated Review embeds prerequisite review which can be used for just-in-time remediation, or for corequisite course models. Pre-made Skills Check quizzes assess prerequisite skills needed to be successful in the Statistics content and identify gaps for each student.
- Videos, worksheets and personalized practice offer just-in-time remediation on prerequisite skills for each student.
- Added instruction within personalized review homework provides remediation on prerequisite skills in the context of their Statistics coursework. Review homework also includes videos and worksheets as learning aids for relevant exercises for remediation right where students need it.
- Updated video program: new animated flow charts use visuals to explain difficult concepts. Tech-specific video tutorials address how to use varying technologies to complete exercises. Updated Chapter Review exercise videos cover the Review Exercises to reinforce key chapter concepts; they are updated to match any new Review Exercises in the text. New Statistics (Stat)Crunch® Video Tutorials are provided.
