Description
ELEMENTARY STATISTICS: A STEP BY STEP APPROACH is for introductory statistics courses with a basic algebra prerequisite. The book is non-theoretical, explaining concepts intuitively and teaching problem solving through worked examples and step-by-step instructions. In recent editions, Al Bluman has placed more emphasis on conceptual understanding and understanding results, along with increased focus on Excel, MINITAB, and the TI-83 Plus and TI-84 Plus graphing calculators; computing technologies commonly used in such courses.
The 8th edition of Bluman provides a significant leap forward in terms of online course management with McGraw-Hill's new homework platform, Connect Statistics ' Hosted by ALEKS. Statistic instructors served as digital contributors to choose the problems that will be available, authoring each algorithm and providing stepped out solutions that go into great detail and are focused on areas where students commonly 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.

Chapter Summaries were updated into bulleted paragraphs representing each section from the chapter
Over 250 new or updated exercises have been incorporated into the text.
Over 30 new or updated examples have been incorporated into the text. - Critical Thinking Challenges - These problems extend the material in the chapter and are subsequently solved using the statistical techniques presented in the chapter.
- Procedure Tables - These boxes embody the text's step by step approach and summarize methods for solving various types of common problems. Worked examples include every step.
- Speaking of Statistics - These sections invite students to think about poll results and other statistics-related news stories and apply what they have learned.
- Statistics Today - The outline and learning objectives of each chapter are followed by Statistics Today, a real-life problem that shows students the relevance of the chapter's topic.
- Applying the Concepts ' These exercises are found at the end of each section to reinforce concepts explained in the section. Most contain open-ended questions that require critical thinking and interpretation and may have more than one correct answer.
- At the end of appropriate sections, Technology Step by Step Boxes show students how to use MINITAB, the TI-83 Plus and TI-84 Plus graphing calculators, and Excel to solve the types of problems covered in the section.
- Data Projects ' Appear at the end of each chapter and often require students to gather, analyze and report on real data. They are specific to the areas of Business and Finance, Sports and Leisure, Technology, Health and Wellness, Politics and Economics, and the classroom.
- Technology Answers - The answers in the answer appendix now include solutions based on the use of tables as well as solutions with answers derived from technology (calculator, Minitab, Excel, etc.) when there are discrepancies.
