Each section of every chapter begins with a list of Learning Objectives and ends with a Learning Check consisting of multiple-choice questions -- with at least one question related to each Learning Objective. Do-It-Yourself examples present students with an opportunity to test their understanding by solving a computation problem related to the current topic (a final answer is provided). The previous edition's Chapter 19, outlining how to identify the correct statistical procedures for specific data sets, has been moved to the Appendix as a Statistics Organizer. Available with MindTap. MindTap for Statistics helps students understand statistics through chapter-specific assignments of varying complexity that ensure students are learning key concepts and practicing their application on a regular basis. Students elevate thinking by working with realistic data sets, interacting with tools to help them understand statistical constructs, and getting immediate and substantive feedback. Math and Graphing Tutorials help students overcome mathematical challenges and fears that would otherwise prevent them from learning statistics, SPSS Tutorials and problems give students exposure to real world statistical software, and video problem demos provide students help when they need it most. The book's conceptual context helps make learning statistics as simple as possible for students who may be intimidated by the subject. Statistical formulas are presented in both standard mathematical notation and in everyday language, with explanations of how and why formulas are used.
