In addition, you may need a Course ID, provided by your instructor, to register for and use MyLab or Mastering products.For courses in Introductory Statistics.Encourages statistical thinking using technology, innovative methods, and a sense of humor Inspired by the 2016 GAISE Report revision, Intro Stats , 5th Edition by De Veaux/Velleman/Bock uses innovative strategies to help students think critically about data -- while maintaining the book's core concepts, coverage, and most importantly, readability.By using technology and simulations to demonstrate variability at critical points throughout the course, the authors make it easier for students to understand more complicated statistical later in the course (such as the Central Limit Theorem). In addition, students get more exposure to large data sets and multivariate thinking, which better prepares them to be critical consumers of statistics in the 21st century.The 5th Edition's approach to teaching intro stats is revolutionary, while retaining its lively tone and popular features such as Think/Show/Tell examples.Also available with MyLab Statistics Used by nearly one million students a year, MyLab(TM) Statistics is the world's leading online program for teaching and learning statistics. MyLab Statistics delivers assessment, tutorials, and multimedia resources that provide engaging and personalized experiences for each student, so learning can happen in any environment. Each course is developed to accompany Pearson's best-selling content, authored by thought leaders across the statistics curriculum, and can be easily customized to fit any course format.
