Written entirely in MyStatLab: Interactive Statistics offers a completely digital experience, built from the ground up to work with the way modern students learn and behave online.
Interactive Assignments offer a new and innovative way to assess students in MyStatLab, presenting statistical concepts through seamless learning and assessment. Students read a little, watch a little, and do a little, experiencing the material in a new way while developing conceptual connections and better retaining knowledge. To provide a consistent voice throughout, the authors scripted and created all the multimedia learning aids.
Preparing for this Section–each assignment begins with a brief review and exercises designed to assess mastery of the pre-requisite topics needed to move through the upcoming section objectives.
Read and Interact–each Interactive Assignment is broken down by chapter section and organized by section objective. Students move through each objective by reading text and then interacting with a variety of strategically placed multimedia elements so they learn each concept in the most effective way.
Step-by-Step Examples guide a student from problem to solution in easy-to-follow steps. Examples and solutions are also provided via video, with instruction described in several different formats–by-hand, TI-84C, and StatCrunch.
Technology Step-by-Step instructions walk students through using the TI-83/84 Plus and StatCrunch in each example solution.
Applet Activities help students learn concepts through an experiential approach. Follow-up exercises assess understanding of the concepts.
Caution animations alert students to potential pitfalls when conducting statistical analysis.
In Other Words animations take statistical definitions and concepts, and state them in simple, everyday language.
Real data throughout the eText and Interactive Assignments, exercises, and examples pique student interest and show the relevance of statistics to real life.
Assessment follows each example, asking students to work through built-in exercises to assess their mastery of the concepts they just reviewed. At the conclusion of the Interactive Assignment, homework is pre-assigned so students may test their understanding of each section in its entirety. As they complete each chapter, a chapter review Quiz and Chapter Test are made available to fully assess their mastery.
The Interactive eText, available outside of the Interactive Assignments, integrates all of the same multimedia elements without the built in assessment and offers several additional powerful resources.
Making an Informed Decision opens each chapter with the opportunity to collect and analyze data based on a situation students are likely to encounter in their life, such as purchasing an automobile or investing money in the stock market.
Chapter Review sections include:
Chapter Summary delivered via video and visual map using a MindMap, and may be downloaded.
A list of key chapter Vocabulary with pop-up definitions.
A list of Formulas used in the chapter.
Chapter Objectives listed with corresponding review exercises.
Review Exercises with answers available as pop-ups.
Chapter Test with answers available as pop-ups. Plus, each chapter test problem has complete, worked-out video solutions (solved by hand, and using the TI-84C and StatCrunch).
Additional instructor and student support resources are available to accompany the Interactive Statistics course:
Student Resources
The Guided Notebook is an interactive, student workbook that leads students through the course. It provides structure for recording key information from the course, and helps students take good notes for review. This printed resource is available in a three-hole-punched, unbound format to provide the foundation for a personalized course notebook. Students can integrate their class notes and homework notes within the appropriate section of the Guided Notebook.
Supplemental End-of-Section Exercises, provide additional practice, as needed. Available as Word documents or PDFs, they are located in the Tools for Success section of MyStatLab.
Student Activities Workbook for the Sullivan Statistics series, available for download in MyStatLab or for purchase separately, includes classroom and applet activities. An accompanying Instructor’s resource guide offers suggestions for incorporating the activities into class.
Instructor Resources
The Guided Notebook–Instructor’s Edition is a completed instructor’s version of the Guided Notebook, with answers and notes from the authors. This is available for download only.

Case Studies, available for each chapter, help students apply their knowledge and promote active learning. Instructor solutions are included for each Case Study.
Supplemental End-of-Section Exercises provide additional practice as needed. Available as Word documents or PDFs, they are located in the Tools for Success section of MyStatLab. A separate answer file is available in the Instructors Resource section of MyStatLab.
Instructor Guide for the Student Activities Workbook offers suggestions for incorporating Student Activities into the classroom.
