Elementary Statistics: A Step By Step Approach with Data CD and Formula Card 8th Edition by Allan Bluman gives non-theoretical, explaining concepts intuitively and instructing drawback fixing by means of labored examples and step-by-step instructions. In current editions, Al Bluman has positioned more emphasis on conceptual understanding and understanding outcomes, along with elevated give attention to Excel, MINITAB, and the TI-83 Plus and TI-84 Plus graphing calculators; computing technologies generally utilized in such courses.
The book offers a significant leap forward when it comes to on-line course management with McGraw-Hill’s new homework platform, Connect Statistics - Hosted by ALEKS. Statistic instructors served as digital contributors to choose the issues that shall be available, authoring every algorithm and providing stepped out options that go into great element and are targeted on areas the place college students generally make mistakes. From there, the ALEKS Corporation reviewed each algorithm to ensure accuracy. The result is an online homework platform that provides superior content and feedback, allowing students to effectively learn the material being taught. Many elements in the book were updated based on newer, real data. New “Speaking of Statistics”, “Critical Thinking Challenges”, “Statistics Today”, and worked examples were added to this edition.
300 new exercises most based on actual data were added to the book. Students are motivated by seeing statistics applied to the real world, as they learn to work with "messy" numbers (rather than data contrived for easy computation). Additionally, many exercises were rewritten asking students to interpret the results they just found. These questions help students focus on what a result means rather than simply finding a result.
A new feature, “Applying the Concepts” was added to each section and appears prior to each exercise set. The purpose of the feature is to reinforce the concepts. They give the student an opportunity to think about the concepts and apply them to hypothetical examples and scenarios similar to those found in newspapers, magazines, on news programs, etc. Most contain open-ended questions that require critical thinking and interpretation. “Applying the Concepts” can be used for homework assignments or used as topics for in-class discussion or group work.
"Technology Step by Step" sections show how to solve basic problems using Minitab software, the TI-83 Plus and TI-84Plus graphing calculators, or Excel. Students can concentrate on ideas rather than software syntax; they learn to translate easily from problem-solving procedures to on-screen commands. More examples and exercises based on actual data. Students are motivated by seeing statistics applied to the real world, as they learn to work with "messy" numbers (rather than data contrived for easy computation).
Statistics Today problems open every chapter. These real-life problems, accompanied by a photo or graphic and sometimes a news item, show students the relevance of the chapter's topic. The answer is provided at chapter end. Students apply concepts and procedures to real-world.
