Biostatistics for the Biological and Health Sciences

by Marc M. Triola, Jason Roy

Biostatistics for the Biological and Health Sciences brings statistical theories and methods to life with real applications, emphasis on real data and a friendly writing style. It is designed to suit a wide variety of students in their first statistics course and uses minimal algebra. A broad range of examples, emphasis on real data, and a friendly writing style help you develop skills in critical thinking, technology and communication. This collaboration from 2 biological sciences experts and the author of the #1 statistics book is an excellent introduction that is also highly readable, understandable, interesting and relevant.

The 3rd Edition incorporates the latest and best methods used by professional statisticians. It provides an abundance of new and interesting data sets, examples, and exercises (such as those involving clinical trials, COVID-19, biometrics, and anthropometrics); and it includes features that address all of the recommendations included in the Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) as recommended by the American Statistical Association.
