This edition also features increased emphasis on Excel, MINITAB, and the TI-83 Plus and TI 84-Plus graphing calculators, computing technologies commonly used in such courses. Features:
- 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. Additionally, many exercises were rewritten asking students to interpret the results they just found.
- A new feature, "Applying the Concepts" was added to each section and appears prior to each exercise set. 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.
