A Pathway to Introductory Statistics

Viac o knihe

Using authentic data to make math meaningful to students, Jay Lehmann's A Pathway to Introductory Statistics provides a one-semester alternate path through developmental algebra to accelerate and prepare non-STEM students for introductory statistics. For many students' majors, the most fitting college-level math course is statistics. Tailoring their developmental sequence-in both content and approach-to prepare students for this course of study can only improve their success. Infused with highly relevant data sets throughout, Lehmann presents students with both an introduction to descriptive statistics and the requisite algebra topics needed for a statistics course, while demonstrating the close link between the two subjects. This text equips students to reason statistically as they discover the skills and concepts they'll need for statistics.
