101 Special Practice Problems in Probability and Statistics
Description:
This book teaches students to apply their basic knowledge of statistics to both routine and complex problems. They will quickly be able to identify what type of problem they are faced with and will have the skills to solve that problem correctly.
Most problems presented in core texts are repetitious and require students merely to do some computation, look something up in a table, or recall the proper Excel command. Even study guides and review manuals do not push the student beyond this introductory level. 101 Special Practice Problems in Probability and Statistics, fourth edition, challenges students to think at a higher than basic level, without involving a higher level of mathematics, while still teaching them to solve diverse groups of problems such as those they find on most exams. The book s approach will put an end to the frequently heard student lament, I did fine on the homework, but I was BLOWN AWAY by the exam! This new edition contains additional class-tested problems to further increase an emphasis on the use of Excel. A mini CD-ROM containing data sets for the appropriate problems, is included with each book.
