Product Description
Product Description
For a one-semester, general education Introductory Statistics course.
Drawing students in with its reality-based approach and practicality, this popular text offers a balanced and enlightening examination of the theory and application of statistics. Helping to hone important critical thinking skills, it teaches students how to analyze data that appear in situations in the world around them and bases a majority of its examples and exercises on current, real-world applications pulled from journals, magazines, news articles, and commerce.
From the Back Cover
A First Course in Statistics is now accompanied by a suite of new technology resources designed to enhance the instruction and comprehension of introductory statistics course material.
New supplements include:- Technology Companion Manuals. Available free when packaged to the text, each spiral-bound manual is tied specifically to the Statistics, 9e text, but can also be used with A First Course in Statistics, 8e. Step-by-step keystroke level instructions and screen captures for the TI-83, MINITAB, and Excel provide detailed instructions showing students how to work pertinent exercises.
- Course Management Options. Instructors wishing to enhance their course with an interactive on-line component may choose from text-specific WebCT, Blackboard, or CourseCompass sites. Each site features course-compatible content, the student solutions manual, assessment options, lecture content, and new Web-based statistical applets (STATLETS™ by StatPoint, LLC) that are designed specifically for McClave/Sincich Statistics, 9e, and can also be used with A First Course in Statistics, 8e.

This is a "must have" book for a new student in statistics.
29 Aug 1999
Format:Hardcover
This book removes all those fearsome notions about statistics. The topics presented are sequential, well organized and easy to understand.Case studies are helpful in associating learned concepts to real world applications. Examples from various statistical packages give students a flavor of how computer generates statistical reports.Examples with solutions guide students toward step by step understanding of concepts involved. Overall, this is an excellent book for all those students who really want to get serious about statistics.

Table , table, where's the table
1 Sep 2004
Format:Hardcover
An annoying tendency of certain books is to provide so many tables, figures and examples that you get lost trying to find ex A figure 2.x or Table Z. This book excels in this regard. It would have been clearer if a single, global, numbering system had been used to refer to ANY AND EVERY example in the book rather than non-collated links all over creation. A simple pg. number IN ADDITION TO!!! the figure/table/example/chart/drawing - whatever-number ... would have sufficed.
Terrible awful stuff having to hunt down what you want mid-sentance.

Pretty good for what it is.
2 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback
As Math textbooks go, this one's pretty good. It has a nice variety of problems for the student to work at the end of each subchapter, from easy ones to advanced ones, and the explanations are actually not bad. As a supplement to a course on Statistics, this is a very useful book. As with almost all Math texts, of course, it is almost completely useless on its own; it's a very rare individual indeed who can learn anything from reading a Math textbook without have someone lecturing and explaining the material; this is a problem innate to Math textbooks, given that a textbook cannot tailor the level of explanation to the student and give as much explanation as needed in the areas that the student finds difficult, without insulting the intelligence of the student in all other areas.This book in no way proves an exception to this rule, but it is no worse than most texts in this regard and is actually somewhat better than most.
