PRESTATISTICS prepares students for statistics with a three-step problem-solving process that shows them how to identify the method needed to solve a given problem, use mathematics to find a numerical result and interpret that result. Suitable for any content delivery method -- traditional, online, hybrid or flipped -- the text offers 900 videos including screencast lectures, example video solutions, quick-check exercise walkthroughs and WatchIts that enable your students to learn how they want to learn.
