内容説明

Integrated text and CD-ROM package emphasizes the logic of statistical procedures, fundamental concepts, and application of quantitative techniques to statistical problems. Every text is packaged with a free CD-ROM featuring Activities and Problem Generators that reinforce the key concepts that are most difficult for students. Students actively participate in experiments by directly manipulating data points and varying numerical values, and by observing real-time changes to graphs and equations. Sets of questions structure exploration. Problem Generators provide a wide variety of problems with worked solutions, helping students develop confidence in statistical analysis. Annotated icons link text content with practice opportunities on the CD. This CD-ROM is not a data analysis tool such as SPSS, but provides a learning environment for exploration and application of key concepts.
