"This edition addresses common obstacles to learning, as the authors translate research on student learning in statistics and probability into practice. The authors use proven methods to address areas where students struggle most - probability, hypothesis testing and selecting an appropriate method of analysis. Students can strengthen their conceptual understanding and procedural fluency as they put knowledge into practice with updated learning objectives, real-data examples, exercises and technology notes."
