A condensed and more streamlined version of the very popular and widely used UNDERSTANDABLE STATISTICS, 9e, International Edition this book offers instructors an effective way to teach the essentials of statistics, including early coverage of Regression, within a more limited time frame. Designed to help students overcome their apprehension about statistics, UNDERSTANDING BASIC STATISTICS, 5e, International Edition is a thorough yet approachable text that provides plenty of guidance and informal advice demonstrating the links between statistics and the world. The strengths of the text include an applied approach that helps students realize the real-world significance of statistics, an accessible exposition, and a new, complete technology package. The Fifth Edition addresses the growing importance of developing students’ critical thinking and statistical literacy skills with the introduction of new features and exercises throughout the text. The use of the graphing calculator, Microsoft® Excel®, Minitab®, and SPSS is covered but not required.
Features
Coverage of regression early in the text makes it easier to provide students with a thorough introduction to essential statistical concepts and help them to steadily build knowledge and improve their skills throughout the course.
Procedures provide a brief summary of the statistical methods introduced in each chapter section and are followed by specific examples and guided exercises to help students master and apply each procedure.
Cumulative Review Problems appear after every third chapter and integrate concepts introduced in the previous set of chapters, allowing students to regularly reconsider the course material already covered and reinforce key concepts.
Guided Exercises immediately follow selected examples and provide an opportunity for students to explore new concepts. Step-by-step solutions accompanying each exercise allow for immediate self-evaluation and reinforcement.
Focus Points! at the beginning of each section introduce the topics to be covered, allowing students to familiarize themselves with the main ideas in advance and focus their reading and studying more effectively.
1. GETTING STARTED.
What is Statistics? Random Samples. Introduction to Experimental Design.
2. ORGANIZING DATA .
Frequency Distributions, Histograms, and Related Topics. Bar Graphs, Circle Graphs, and Time-Series Graphs. Stem-and-Leaf Displays.
3. AVERAGES AND VARIATION.
Measures of Central Tendency: Mode, Median, and Mean. Measures of Variation. Percentiles and Box-and-Whisker Plots.
4. CORRELATION AND REGRESSION.
Scatter Diagrams and Linear Correlation. Linear Regression and the Coefficient of Determination.
5. ELEMENTARY PROBABILITY THEORY.
What is Probability? Some Probability Rules—Compound Events. Trees and Counting Techniques.
6. THE BINOMIAL PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION AND RELATED TOPICS.
Introduction to Random Variables and Probability Distributions. Binomial Probabilities. Additional Properties of the Binomial Distribution.
7. NORMAL CURVES AND SAMPLING DISTRIBUTIONS.
Graphs and Normal Probability Distributions. Standard Units and Areas Under the Standard Normal Distribution. Areas Under Any Normal Curve. Sampling Distributions. The Central Limit Theorem. Normal Approximation to the Binomial Distribution.
8. ESTIMATION.
Estimating µ When s Is Known. Estimating µ When s is Unknown. Estimating p in a Binomial Distribution.
9. HYPOTHESIS TESTING.
Introduction to Statistical Tests. Testing the Mean µ. Testing a Proportion p.
10. INFERNECES ABOUT DIFFERENCES.
Tests Involving Paired Differences (Dependent Samples). Inferences About the Difference of Two Means µ1 - µ2. Inferences About the Difference of Two Proportions p1 - p2.
11. ADDITIONAL TOPICS USING INFERENCE.
Chi-Square: Tests of Independence and of Homogeneity. Chi-Square: Goodness of Fit. Testing and Estimating a Single Variance or Standard Deviation. Inferences for Correlation and Regression.
Critical Thinking Boxes at the end of most sections help students hone their critical thinking skills by providing additional clarification on specific statistical concepts as a safeguard against incorrect evaluation of information.Interpretation Boxes in several chapters help students refine their critical thinking and analysis skills further by working to correctly interpret their results in the context of a particular application.Special margin notes draw attention to more information about a related topic appearing in the Expand Your Knowledge exercises at the end of the section, allowing instructors to cover additional material as desired and enabling students to learn more about topics they find especially interesting or difficult to grasp.The most widely used homework system in higher education, WebAssign is now integrated with the text, allowing you to assign, collect, grade, and record homework assignments via the Web. WebAssign algorithmically generates variables in questions and provides question-specific student-support materials, including electronic files from relevant parts of the textbook, videos of a similar exercise, active examples with worked out solutions, and robust tutorials.Bulleted Chapter Summaries make it easy for students to identify key concepts covered in a chapter and to review the material quickly and effectively when working on class assignments or preparing for a test.
