Elementary Statistics has been written for the introductory statistics course and students majoring in any field. Although the use of algebra is minimal, students should have completed at least an elementary algebra course. In many cases, underlying theory is included, but this book does not stress the mathematical rigor more suitable for mathematics majors. Triola is the #1 best seller in the market long recognized for its student-friendly pedagogy and wealth of exercises using real data. The ninth edition offers new large and small data sets, a greater emphasis on interpreting results, and improved flexible technology coverage with many examples and exercises covering a wide variety of different and interesting statistical applications.

Good book but a few suggestions!
3 Sep 2005
By RebeccaJean
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book is written by an expert in Statistics and most explanations are written in easy enough language for the introductory student (like me!), although I have to confess to struggling to understand some of the concepts sometimes. If you are as 'rusty' a student as me, I strongly recommend another little inexpensive paperback book as an additional aid to this one: Teach Yourself Statistics. I was also surprised that in the beginning of the book, in Chapter 2 on graphing, that the technical tips section at the end of the chapter referred you to a supplemental manual you'd have to purchase. At this price, I was especially surprised since the book is promoted as having the technology info for Excel & TI-83 included (and if graphing isn't one of the most basic concepts to learn in Introduction to Statistics, what is?). If there was no way to include the actual information in the technical tips sections- my suggestion to the author is to consider having the manual included as a 'package'.

This book is really a masterpiece when it comes to explaining the concepts! The author makes sure that students don't just memorize formulas, but rather that they understand why the formulas work. I used this book to pass the DANTES statistic exam.
