Product Description
Roxy Peck, Chris Olsen and Jay Devore's new edition uses real data and attention-grabbing examples to introduce students to the study of statistical output and methods of data analysis. Based on the best-selling STATISTICS: THE EXPLORATION AND ANALYSIS OF DATA, Fifth Edition, this new INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICS AND DATA ANALYSIS, Second Edition integrates coverage of the graphing calculator and includes expanded coverage of probability. Traditional in structure yet modern in approach, this text guides students through an intuition-based learning process that stresses interpretation and communication of statistical information. Conceptual comprehension is cemented by the simplicity of notation--frequently substituting words for symbols. Simple notation helps students grasp concepts. Hands-on activities and Seeing Statistics applets in each chapter allow students to practice statistics firsthand.

 Recommended by Authors for Fuller Treatment of Probability November 15, 2006
Karl M. Bunday (Minnetonka, MN USA)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The authors are renowned for their work in producing clear, modern, thought-provoking statistics textbooks. This book differs from Statistics: The Exploration and Analysis of Data, 5th Ed. in that it has a more expansive discussion of probability. It also differs from that title in having more specific calculator exercises, but has the same great features of all editions of all textbooks from the same authors. Prefer this title to Statistics: The Exploration and Analysis of Data, 5th Ed. if you want more detail and depth on probability, and more practice with using an electronic calculator to explore statistics.
 expensive but a good deal March 2, 2007

This book came quickly and was the correct version of the one I needed for my class. It was about $40 less expensive on Amazon than it was at my university's bookstore, but it's still a lot of money. I'm not sure if it's my computer or the CD, but I can't get the SPSS program to run. Overall, this book/CD was what I expected it to be at a relatively good price.
 Product Never Received July 7, 2008

I never received this item. I emailed the 3rd-party seller on two separate occasions and he/she never replied. My American Express card was billed for this purchase and I had to place the charge in dispute. I ended up ordering the same book from another 3rd-party seller and received it in a very timely manner. Because I've been so busy with graduate school, I haven't taken the proper steps yet with Amazon to register this complaint. Therefore, I hope that Amazon is reading this review. I will not purchase again from this seller. In terms of the actual product (book) which I received from another seller, it is very helpful.
