Biographical note
David S. Moore is Shanti S. Gupta Distinguished Professor of Statistics, Emeritus, at Purdue University and was 1998 president of the American Statistical Association. He received his AB from Princeton and his PhD from Cornell, both in mathematics. He has written many research papers in statistical theory and served on the editorial boards of several major journals. Professor Moore is an elected fellow of the American Statistical Association and of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and an elected member of the International Statistical Institute. He has served as program director for statistics and probability at the National Science Foundation. In recent years, Professor Moore has devoted his attention to the teaching of statistics. He was the content developer for the Annenberg/Corporation for Public Broadcasting college-level telecourse Against All Odds: Inside Statistics and for the series of video modules Statistics: Decisions through Data, intended to aid the teaching of statistics in schools. He is the author of influential articles on statistics education and of several leading texts. Professor Moore has served as president of the International Association for Statistical Education and has received the Mathematical Association of America’s national award for distinguished college or university teaching of mathematics. William I. Notz is Professor of Statistics at the Ohio State University. He received his B.S. in physics from the Johns Hopkins University and his Ph.D. in mathematics from Cornell University. His first academic job was as an assistant professor in the Department of Statistics at Purdue University. While there, he taught the introductory concepts course with Professor Moore and as a result of this experience he developed an interest in statistical education. Professor Notz is a co-author of EESEE (the Electronic Encyclopedia of Statistical Examples and Exercises) and co-author of Statistics: Concepts and Controversies. Professor Notz’s research interests have focused on experimental design and computer experiments. He is the author of several research papers and of a book on the design and analysis of computer experiments. He is an elected fellow of the American Statistical Association. He has served as the editor of the journal Technometrics and as editor of the Journal of Statistics Education. He has served as the Director of the Statistical Consulting Service, as acting chair of the Department of Statistics for a year, and as an Associate Dean in the College of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the Ohio State University. He is a winner of the Ohio State University’s Alumni Distinguished Teaching Award. Michael A. Fligner is an Adjunct Professor at the University of California at Santa Cruz and a non-resident Professor Emeritus with the Ohio State University. He received his B.S. in mathematics from the State University of New York at Stony Brook and his Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut. He spent almost 40 years at the Ohio State University where he was Vice Chair of the Department for over 10 years and also served as Director of the Statistical Consulting Service. He has done consulting work with several large corporations in Central Ohio. Professor Fligner's research interests are in Nonparametric Statistical methods and he received the Statistics in Chemistry award from the American Statistical Association for work on detecting biologically active compounds. He is co-author of the book Statistical Methods for Behavioral Ecology and received a Fulbright scholarship under the American Republics Research program to work at the Charles Darwin Research Station in the Galapagos Islands. He has been an Associate Editor of the Journal of Statistical Education. Professor Fligner is currently associated with the Center for Statistical Analysis in the Social Sciences at the University of California at Santa Cruz.

Achieve Online Homework Over 3,000 homework questions of varying difficulty, Bloom’s level, and question type. Every homework question includes a hint, answer-specific feedback, and a fully worked solution. Question types in Achieve include: - Multiple choice - Ranking - Sorting - Numeric entry - Multi-part questions - Questions with algorithmically regenerating values LearningCurve adaptive quizzing puts the concept of "testing to learn" into action, motivating students to engage with the text's content to identify areas of proficiency. Easy-to-use reporting tools help teachers pinpoint areas to focus on in class. A mobile, interactive e-book, powered by VitalSource, allows students to highlight and take notes, print select pages, and have the text read aloud to them. Over 140 StatTutors--multimedia tutorials that explore important concepts and procedures in a presentation that combines video, audio, and interactive features--are assignable, gradeable, and organized by chapter. Applet Activities, called out from the text, are visual interactives that allow students to manipulate data and variables in calculations and see the results graphically. Applets also contain assessment questions to test students’ comprehension. Videos provide additional exposure to key concepts and examples. Videos are narrated and close-captioned. Video types include: - Whiteboard-style problem-solving videos - StatTutor video lessons - Animated lectures and documentary-style videos that illustrate real world scenarios involving statistics EESEE (Electronic Encyclopedia of Statistical Examples and Exercises) Case Studies, developed by the Ohio State University Statistics Department, teach students to apply their statistical skills by exploring actual case studies using real data. Video Technology Manuals are brief instructional videos that provide basic introductions for working with CrunchIt!, Excel, SPSS, TI-83/84 calculators, JMP, Minitab, R, and RCmdr. Statistical software options: CrunchIt!, Macmillan’s proprietary online statistical software powered by R, handles every computation and graphing function an introductory statistics student needs. CrunchIt! is preloaded with data sets, and it allows editing and importing additional data. Students also receive access to JMP Student Edition (developed by SAS). With the student edition of JMP, students handle large data, visualizations, and analysis for which the professional version is renowned. Additionally, text-specific data sets are included for download. For other statistical software, Achieve includes data sets, including those for: - Excel - Minitab - R & RCmdr - SPSS - TI Calculators - Mac-text & PC-text - CSV file export IN THE TEXTBOOK: Four-Step Problem-Solving examples guide students through the four-step process for working through statistical problems: State, Plan, Solve, Conclude. Students are instructed to apply that process in designated exercises. Apply Your Knowledge sections reinforce key concepts with exercises to encourage students to read more actively and cement new concepts by applying them as they learn. Examples of Technology, located where most appropriate, display and comment on the output from popular statistical software applications (notably Excel, Minitab, JMP, SPSS, and R) and TI 83/84 graphing calculators in the context of worked examples. Definition and Theorem Boxes in the text alert students to key concepts and rules. Caution Boxes warn students of common mistakes or misconceptions while solving problems. Statistics in Your World callouts further connect statistics topics to the real world, highlighting examples and applications from a variety of fields. The main themes of the text are directly connected to and aligned to the GAISE guidelines (from the College Report of the Guidelines in Assessment and Instruction for Statistics Education Project). Online Resource Callouts are featured at numerous locations within the chapter, including references to related online resources such as video technology manuals, data sets, and whiteboard-style problem-solving videos.
