Synopsis

This new edition has been expanded using state-of-the-art MINITAB graphics to reflect current trends in descriptive data analysis. Much of the text has been rewritten in response to student requests to make the language and style more readable and user friendly. This classic now features a more graphic approach to modernize it, and more emphasis on the uses of the computer in statistics is also a focus for this edition. Inference making, crystal-clear explanations, and well-honed exercises with raw data sets continue to be the hallmarks for the book.

Review

"This edition represents a significant improvement and modernization of a text which was already the best of its kind. The authors have done a wonderful job, particularly with integrating a computerized statistical tool. I commend them."

"I always felt comfortable with the examples used in the textbook because they are usually real-life data. . . .The Tenth Edition brought a welcome change by adding a few 'feel-at-home' type of problems, which help students' understanding of the concepts they are about to learn at first. This is a great idea. I believe in using examples whose contents are familiar (easy to understand) to students so that they can relate themselves to the problem at hand. . . . I would adopt the textbook upon completion."
