Data sets are included in the textbook (Appendix B) and in multiple electronic formats in MyStatLab®, on the included CD-ROM, and at our website.
    • An increased emphasis on interpreting results, rather than simply obtaining answers, helps students develop statistical literacy and, where appropriate, arrive at practical conclusions. Worked examples in the text model this approach. 
  • Thoughtful features—such as the flexible organization, Flowcharts for complex procedures, and  From Data to Decision capstone problems—make this text a useful learning companion for the course.
    • The flexible organization allows instructors to cover the basics of correlation and regression early in the course if they wish, and scale coverage of probability as needed to address their unique course needs.
