ABSTRACT

•We’ve added a comprehensive basic math review to this edition. It will get your students off to a good start in statistics.

• In the worksheets, students obtain answers to humorous riddles if their work is correct. If the answer to a riddle does not make sense, they know to check their work.

• Easy to coordinate with all major statistics textbooks because each exercise covers only a limited number of statistics.

• All major topics are included—from calculating percentages to conducting a one-way ANOVA.

• Over 40 humorously illustrated, interactive guides give your students solid advice on study skills covering everything from how to get the most out of a statistics textbook to how to work with a tutor.

• The 64-page instructor’s answer key shows all the steps in the solutions for the computational problems. This key makes it easy for you to start using the workbook right away.

• This book has been a perennial best-seller. Minor adjustments throughout bring you an improved Second Edition for 1999.
