To become statistical thinkers, students first need to see how statistics is relevant to them. Peck, Short, and Olsen?s INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICS AND DATA ANALYSIS, 6th Edition lowers the reading level from the previous edition and significantly increases homework scaffolding for difficulty level. In order to get students thinking statistically, this text starts each concept off with an example or two and stresses interpretation and communication of statistical information through hands-on, activity based learning using real data. Written in compliance with the GAISE college report and employing techniques based on modern research into student learning, this text presents concepts in formats that best resonate with the diverse ways students learn. With an emphasis on how concepts apply to students and the world around them, this text guides students through an intuition-based learning process that focuses on concepts and applications first, then gets into methods using data analysis tools or hand-calculations where necessary. Peck, Short, and Olsen?s INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICS AND DATA ANALYSIS, 6th Edition contains new sections on randomization-based inference: bootstrap methods for simulation-based confidence intervals and randomization tests of hypotheses. These new sections are accompanied by online Shiny apps, which can be used to construct bootstrap confidence intervals and to carry out randomization tests. In addition, a new visualization tool at statistics.cengage.com will help instructors teach and students understand these new concepts. When compared to the author team?s text Peck and Short?s LEARNING FROM DATA, 2nd Edition, this text includes longer sections detailing the methods and calculations supporting data analysis through the use of technology, while still emphasizing heavily interpretation of those results as a main component of being able to think statistically.
