Statistics need not be dull and dry! Engage and inspire your students with Statistics Alive! Presenting essential content on statistical analysis in short, digestible modules, this text is written in a conversational tone with anecdotal stories and light-hearted humor; it’s an enjoyable read that will ensure your students are always prepared for class.
Students are shown the underlying logic to what they're learning, and well-crafted practice and self-check features help ensure that that new knowledge sticks. Coverage of probability theory and mathematical proofs is complemented by expanded conceptual coverage. In the Third Edition, new coauthor Matthew Price includes simplified practice problems and increased coverage of conceptual statistics, integrated discussions of effect size with hypothesis testing, and new coverage of ethical practices for conducting research.
Give your students the SAGE Edge!
SAGE Edge offers a robust online environment featuring an impressive array of free tools and resources for review, study, and further exploration, keeping both instructors and students on the cutting edge of teaching and learning. Learn More.
