Statistics: Unlocking the Power of Data, 3rd Edition is
designed for an introductory statistics course focusing on data analysis
with real-world applications. Students use simulation methods to
effectively collect, analyze, and interpret data to draw conclusions.
Randomization and bootstrap interval methods introduce the fundamentals
of statistical inference, bringing concepts to life through
authentically relevant examples. More traditional methods like t-tests,
chi-square tests, etc. are introduced after students have developed a
strong intuitive understanding of inference through randomization
methods. While any popular statistical software package may be used, the
authors have created StatKey to perform simulations using data sets and
examples from the text. A variety of videos, activities, and a modular
chapter on probability are adaptable to many classroom formats and
approaches.
