Summary
Real data and real examples make statistics real for you! Discover the importance of statistics and how the practice affects your life and the world around you with STATISTICS: THE EXPLORATION AND ANALYSIS OF DATA. Authors Devore and Peck have helped thousands of students master statistical concepts and learn to apply them. Using real data, the authors show you how statistical techniques are used with increasing frequency in a variety of fields, including business, medicine, social sciences, and applied sciences such as engineering. Their accessible writing style is enhanced by numerous examples, including hands-on activities and "Seeing Statistics" applets. Plus, you can chart your own path to success with StatisticsNOW, the personalized online learning companion, and Personal Tutor with SMARTHINKING, which gives you access to live online tutoring!
