Drawn from Triola’s Elementary Statistics, Eleventh Edition, this text provides the same student-friendly approach with material presented in a real-world context. The Fourth Edition contains more than 1,700 exercises (18% more than the previous edition); 89% are new and 81% use real data. The book also contains hundreds of examples; 86% are new and 92% use real data. By analyzing real data, readers are able to connect abstract concepts to the world at large, teaching them to think statistically and apply their conceptual understanding using the same methods that professional statisticians employ.

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.
