New to This Edition. This edition contains more than 2, high-quality exercises, which far exceeds what is found in typical introductory statistics books. These exercises provide context-free problems that allow students to concentrate solely on the relevant concepts before moving on to applied exercises.
The WeissStats Resource Site provides an extensive array of resources for both instructors and students, including additional topics, applets, all data sets from the book in multiple formats, a procedures booklet, and technology appendixes.
In addition to several new items, the site offers universal access to those items formerly included on the WeissStats CD. Refer to the table of contents for a brief list of the contents of the WeissStats site or visit the site at www. Note: Instructor-only resources are available on the Instructor Resource Center at www. This content is optional material, but reflects the latest software releases.
The empirical rule is further examined in Chapter 6 when the normal distribution is discussed. Quartiles : The method for calculating quartiles has been modified to make it more easily accessible to students. Furthermore, a dedicated procedure that provides a step-by-step method for finding the quartiles of a data set has been included.
Distribution Shapes : The material on distribution shapes in Section 2. Students will find this revised approach easier to understand and apply. Regression Analysis : Major improvements have been made to the chapter on Descriptive Methods in Regression and Correlation.
These improvements include a comprehensive discussion of scatterplots, a simpler introduction to the least-squares criterion, and easier introductory examples for the regression equation, the sums of squares and coefficient of determination, and the linear correlation coefficient. Density Curves : The discussion of density curves has been significantly expanded and now includes several examples and many more exercises.

Description Elementary Statistics is appropriate for a one-semester introductory statistics course, with an algebra prerequisite. New Case Studies : More than one-third of the chapter opener case studies are new and updated.
New and Updated Exercises : Neil Weiss has updated exercises and relevant data sets where appropriate and has provided many new exercises in this edition. Procedure Boxes: Why, When, and How : The procedure boxes have been enhanced to include the "why, when, and how" of the methods.
Each procedure box has a brief identifying title followed by a statement of its purpose why it's used , the assumptions for its use when it's used , and the steps for applying the procedure how it's used. Parallel Procedures for Hypothesis Testing : Both the critical-value and P-value approaches to hypothesis testing appear in a single split-format procedure box, for ease of use and for facilitating the comparison of the two approaches. What Does It Mean : This feature is used to state in "plain English" the meaning of definitions, formulas, and key facts.
It's also used to summarize certain types of discussions. Instructions and output for each package are included in Technology Centers throughout the book. Option for Brief Probability Coverage : Because of Weiss's unique presentation, only a basic coverage of probability is required. Weiss's flexibility allows instructors the option to cover as much or as little probability as they would like.
Elementary Statistics has one optional probability chapter, though only a few sections are required to understand subsequent material.
Option for Brief Experimental Design Coverage : In the new edition, coverage of experimental designs is optional. Introductions to the principles of experimental design, terminology, of experimental design, and basic statistical designs are available for coverage at the instructor's discretion. Option for Brief Sampling Coverage : In the new editions, the only sampling design required for study is simple random sampling.
Further sampling designs systematic random sampling, stratified sampling, cluster sampling, and multistage sampling are available for coverage at the instructor's discretion.
New to This Edition. Interpretation : This feature is an integral part of the solutions included in the worked examples. It points out how to interpret the results of statistical analyses. StatExplore : StatExplore is online statistical software in MyMathLab, offering an easy-to-use interface and an alternative to commercial statistical software.
Each chapter of ES contains a new feature that discusses the use of StatExplore to perform statistical analyses examined in the chapter and includes StatExplore exercises. StatExplore is customized for this textbook, and is available for use by qualified adopters at no charge. Focus Database : A brand new database has been constructed for the Focusing on Data Analysis sections that appear at the end of each chapter.
These sections include problems related to the Focus Database. This database contains information on 13 variables for the undergraduate students attending the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire. These students are considered a population of interest.
Instructions and output for each package are included in Technology Centers throughout the book. Focusing on Data Analysis sections at the end of each chapter examine the Focus Database, a database of 13 variables for the undergraduate students at the University of Wisconsin—Eau Claire. This feature lets students work with large data sets, practice using technology, and discover the many methods of exploring and analyzing data—both descriptively and inferentially. New to This Edition.
MyStatLab or StatCrunch account required. Hypothesis Testing coverage Chapter 9 has been reworked, reorganized, and streamlined, with p -values appearing much earlier.
Instructors now have the option to ignore material on critical values, which is useful for those who wish to emphasize technology over calculations by hand. Future chapters offer parallel presentation of hypothesis testing, giving the option of concentrating on the critical-value approach, the p -value approach, or both. New topics such as density curves, plus-four confidence intervals for proportions, and the chi-square homogeneity test have been included.
