Full Description
Now you can master the basics of statistics and learn how to use this knowledge in real life situations with Brase/Brase/Dolor/Siebert's UNDERSTANDING BASIC STATISTICS, 9th Edition. This updated edition uses a reader-friendly approach filled with clear guidance and informal advice designed to help you grasp the concepts and see how they relate to your life. You learn to think statistically and perhaps even enjoy a subject that once inspired anxiety. Updates, learning features and real data from a variety of sources, including journals and news sources, keep learning interesting as you refine your critical thinking and statistical skills. Optional coverage demonstrates how to use graphing calculators, Microsoft® Excel®, JMP®, MINITAB®, MINITAB EXPRESS and SPSS®. Complete online resources include labs, projects and videos as part of WebAssign. The Statistical Analysis and Learning Tool (SALT) is also available to help you manipulate data sets and visualize statistics and the meaning behind the data.
