| Summary |
Weiss Introductory Statistics is intended for a one- or two-semester introductory statistics course. Students learn the core statistical concepts in an applied setting, and can access more advanced topics (multiple regression, ANOVA, and Experimental Design) through chapters available on the WeissStat CD. With advances in technology and new insights into the practice of teaching statistics, the sixth edition can now easily fit the organization and pace of various course syllabi and technologies in use. The book offers a flexible organization of content and has a more diversified emphasis on using technology such as Minitab, the TI-83 Plus graphing calculator, Excel, and the Internet to investigate statistical problems |
