Elementary Statistics, 13th Edition

For courses in Introductory Statistics

Real data brings statistics to life

From opinion polls and clinical trials to self-driving cars, statistics influences and shapes the world around us. Best-selling author Marty Triola is committed to keeping Elementary Statistics relentlessly current–with an unprecedented amount of up-to-the-minute real data–so that readers of all backgrounds understand the role of statistics in the world around them. In addition to an abundance of new data sets, examples, and exercises, the 13th Edition is designed to be even more flexible, with the addition of learning objectives as an organizational tool, larger data sets, and new topics in line with advancements in statistics. In addition, readers will find more support in an all-new series of videos, more opportunities for practice, and improved support for statistical software.

Elementary Statistics is part of a series that also includes an Essentials version as well as technology-specific texts, Elementary Statistics Using the TI 83/84 Plus Calculator and Elementary Statistics Using Excel. Data sets and other resources for this series are available at our website.

PREFACE
Statistics permeates nearly every aspect of our lives. From opinion polls to clinical trials in medicine, self-driving cars, drones, and biometric security, statistics influences and shapes the world around us. Elementary Statistics forges the relationship between statistics and our world through extensive use of a wide variety of real applications that bring life to theory and methods.
Goals of This Thirteenth Edition
■ Foster personal growth of students through critical thinking, use of technology, collaborative work, and development of communication skills.
■ Incorporate the latest and best methods used by professional statisticians.
■ Include 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.
■ Provide an abundance of new and interesting data sets, examples, and exercises, such as those involving biometric security, cybersecurity, drones, and smartphone data speeds.
■ Enhance teaching and learning with the most extensive and best set of supplements and digital resources. Audience, Prerequisites
Elementary Statistics is written for students majoring in any subject. Algebra is used minimally. It is recommended that students have completed at least an elementary algebra course or that students should learn the relevant algebra components through an integrated or co-requisite course available through MyStatLab. In many cases, underlying theory is included, but this book does not require the mathematical rigor more appropriate for mathematics majors.
Hallmark Features
Great care has been taken to ensure that each chapter of Elementary Statistics will help students understand the concepts presented. The following features are designed to help meet that objective of conceptual understanding.
Real Data
Hundreds of hours have been devoted to finding data that are real, meaningful, and interesting to students. 94% of the examples are based on real data, and 92% of the exercises are based on real data. Some exercises refer to the 32 data sets listed in Appendix B, and 12 of those data sets are new to this edition. Exercises requiring use of the Appendix B data sets are located toward the end of each exercise set and are marked with a special data set icon. Real data sets are included throughout the book to provide relevant and interesting real-world statistical applications including biometric security, self-driving cars, smartphone data speeds and use of drones for delivery. Appendix B includes descriptions of the 32 data sets that can be downloaded from the companion
The companion website and TriolaStats.com include downloadable data sets in formats for technologies including Excel, Minitab, JMP, SPSS, and TI-83>84 Plus calculators. The data sets are also included in the free Statdisk software, which is also available on the website.
Readability
Great care, enthusiasm, and passion have been devoted to creating a book that is readable, understandable, interesting, and relevant. Students pursuing any major are sure
to find applications related to their future work.
■ Statdisk: A free robust statistical software package designed for this book.
■ Downloadable Appendix B data sets in a variety of technology formats.
■ Downloadable textbook supplements including Section 4-5 Probabilities Through Simulations, Glossary of Statistical Terms and Formulas and Tables.
■ Online instructional videos created specifically for the 13th Edition that provide step-by-step technology instructions.
■ Triola Blog which highlights current applications of statistics, statistics in the news and online resources.
■ Contact link providing one-click access for instructors and students to contact the author, Marty Triola, with questions and comments. Chapter Features Chapter Opening Features
■ Chapters begin with a Chapter Problem that uses real data and motivates the chapter material.
■ Chapter Objectives provide a summary of key learning goals for each section in the chapter.
Exercises Many exercises require the interpretation of results. Great care has been taken to ensure their usefulness, relevance, and accuracy. Exercises are arranged in order of increasing difficulty and exercises are also divided into two groups: (1) Basic Skills and Concepts and (2) Beyond the Basics. Beyond the Basics exercises address more difficult concepts or require a stronger mathematical background. In a few cases, these exercises introduce a new concept. End-of-Chapter Features
■ Chapter Quick Quiz provides 10 review questions that require brief answers.
■ Review Exercises offer practice on the chapter concepts and procedures.
■ Cumulative Review Exercises reinforce earlier material.
■ Technology Project provides an activity that can be used with a variety of technologies.
■ From Data to Decision is a capstone problem that requires critical thinking and writing.
■ Cooperative Group Activities encourage active learning in groups.
Other Features
Margin Essays There are 106 margin essays designed to highlight real-world topics and foster student interest. There are also many Go Figure items that briefly describe interesting numbers or statistics.
Flowcharts The text includes flowcharts that simplify and clarify more complex concepts and procedures. Animated versions of the text’s flowcharts are available within MyStatLab and MathXL.
Detachable Formula and Table Card This insert, organized by chapter, gives students a quick reference for studying, or for use when taking tests (if allowed by the instructor). It also includes the most commonly used tables. This is also available for
Technology Integration
As in the preceding edition, there are many displays of screens from technology throughout the book, and some exercises are based on displayed results from technology. Where appropriate, sections end with a new Tech Center subsection that includes new technology specific videos and detailed instructions for Statdisk, Minitab®, Excel®, StatCrunch, or a TI-83>84 Plus® calculator. (Throughout this text, “TI-83>84 Plus” is used to identify a TI-83 Plus or TI-84 Plus calculator). The end-of-chapter features include a Technology Project.
