Personalize learning with MyLab Statistics. MyLab™ Statistics is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, and pursue a personalized study plan that helps them absorb course material and understand difficult concepts. NOTE: This text requires a title-specific MyLab Statistics access kit. The title-specific access kit provides access to the Sullivan, Fundamentals of Statistics 5/e accompanying MyLab course ONLY. Interactive Applets are a powerful tool for developing statistical concepts and enhancing understanding. There are twenty new applets that accompany the text and many activities in the Student Activity Workbook that utilize these applets. Technology Help in MyLab Statistics Problems in MyLab Statistics that may be analyzed using statistical packages now have an updated technology help feature. Marked with a icon, this features provides step-by-step instructions on how to obtain results using StatCrunch, TI-84 Plus/TI-84 Plus C, and Excel. Technology Step-by- Step guides show how to use StatCrunch , Excel, and the TI-84 graphing calculators to complete statistical processes. Technology Support Videos feature the author demonstrating  the easy-to- follow steps needed to solve a problem in several different formats—by-hand, TI-84 Plus C, and StatCrunch. Updated Videos develop statistical concepts and provide examples. Every objective in the text is accompanied by both by-hand solutions and technology solutions, where applicable. Most Chapter Test problems also have video solutions available. Learning Catalytics™ helps instructors generate class discussion, customize lectures, and promote peer-to-peer learning with real-time analytics. As a student response tool, Learning Catalytics uses students’ smartphones, tablets, or laptops to engage them in more interactive tasks and thinking. Upload a full PowerPoint® deck for easy creation of slide questions. Team names are no longer case sensitive. Help your students develop critical thinking skills. Monitor responses to find out where your students are struggling. Rely on real-time data to adjust your teaching strategy. Automatically group students for discussion, teamwork, and peer-to-peer learning. About the Book Student Activity Workbook contains many in-class activities that may be used to enhance your students’ conceptual understanding of statistical concepts. The activities involve many tactile and applet-based simulations. Applets for the activities may be found at www.pearsonhighered.com/sullivanstats. In addition, the activity workbook  includes many exercises that introduce simulation and randomization methods  for statistical inference. Videos, extensively updated for the 5th Edition, feature the author and George Woodbury. The suite of videos includes instructional videos that develop statistical concepts and example videos with many providing both by-hand solutions and technology solutions (where applicable). In addition, each Chapter Test problem has video solutions available. Over 350 new and updated exercises in the 5th Edition require students to write a few sentences that explain the results of their statistical analysis. The answers in the back of the text provide recommended explanations of the statistical results. In addition,
