Essentials of Statistics [with MyMathLab/MyStatLab Access Code]

by Mario F. Triola

Statistics professors increasingly want a more economical and streamlined text that covers only those topics that are included in their introductory statistics course. Essentials of Statistics, First Edition, is the book for these instructors. Drawn from Triola's Elementary Statistics, 8e, Essentials has the same strong pedagogy: conversational writing style, flow charts, margin essays, ample number of examples that involve real data, numerous and varied exercises, and emphasis on interpretation. *The total page count of Essentials is 640, versus 896 for 8e. *Full-Color Design increases reader interest through a more functional and visually appealing presentation. *Interpreting Results is included throughout the text so that instead of simply obtaining an answer, the consequences of the answer are considered. Students are encouraged to think about the implications of results instead of cranking out answers that make little sense. *Statistics in the News, a feature included at the end of each chapter, provides real-life illustrations and activities that relate to the use of statistics in current and newsworthy applications. *Internet Projects, also included at the end of each chapte

For a Statistics textbook, it wasn't bad. Mario Triola manages to interject humor throughout the text and gives the book a conversational tone. It won't keep you up turning pages late into the night, but if you have to take a stats class (as I did), this is a good book to read.

I honestly would be happy if I never had to see another statistics problem again in my life.

quite possibly the worst textbook I have ever had. the material skips around and the charts you need are not easy to find. so glad this class is over.
