Discover the Power of Real Data
Mario Triola remains the market-leading statistics author by engaging readers
of each edition with an abundance of real data in the examples, applications, and
exercises. Statistics is all around us, and Triola helps readers understand how this
course will impact their lives beyond the classroom–as consumers, citizens, and
professionals.
The Fourth Edition contains more than 1,700 exercises (18% more than the
previous edition); 89% are new and 81% use real data. The book also contains hundreds of
examples; 86% are new and 92% use real data. By analyzing real data, readers are able to
connect abstract concepts to the world at large, teaching them to think statistically and
apply their conceptual understanding using the same methods that professional
statisticians employ.
