Stats: Data and Models uses technology, innovative strategies and a sense of humor to help you think critically about data while maintaining its core concepts, coverage and readability. The authors use technology and simulations to demonstrate variability at critical points throughout, making it easier for you to understand more complicated statistical concepts later in the course (such as the Central Limit Theorem). You'll also get more exposure to large data sets and multivariate thinking, which better prepares you to be a critical consumer of statistics today. The approach in the 5th Edition is revolutionary, yet it retains the book's lively tone and hallmark learning aids features such as its Think/Show/Tell Step-by-Step Examples.
