Here’s how it works: Students begin most Statistics: Informed Decisions Using Data with Integrated Review and Worksheets, 5/e chapters by completing a Skills Check assignment to pinpoint which prerequisite statistics topics, if any, they need to review. Students who demonstrate mastery of the review topics will move straight into the Statistics: Informed Decisions Using Data with Integrated Review and Worksheets, 5/e content. Those who require additional review proceed to a personalized review homework assignment that allows them to remediate on the specific prerequisite topics where they need help. Students can also review the relevant prerequisite concepts using videos and Integrated Review Worksheets in MyLab Statistics. The Integrated Review Worksheets are also available in printed form. 0134767594 / 9780134767598  Statistics: Informed Decisions Using Data with Integrated Review and Worksheets plus NEW MyStatLab with Pearson e-Text -- Access Card Package, 5/e  About the Book Making Informed Decisions: Mike Sullivan helps students connect statistical concepts with their everyday lives, teaching them to think critically and make informed decisions. Putting It Together–found in chapter openers, sections, and exercises–connects concepts from different chapters to show statistics as a whole, rather than a series of disconnected procedures. These are indexed at the beginning of the book for easy reference. Making an Informed Decision chapter openers pose a question, and then present the statistical concept necessary for prudent decision-making. This feature engages the reader in the statistical-thinking process and highlights the practicality of statistics. Activities have been updated and moved from the text chapters to their own Student Activities Workbook. Accompanied by an instructor resource guide with suggestions for incorporating activities into the classroom, the new workbooks helps to actively engage students with the material.   Checking Understanding opportunities appear throughout each section and at the end of every chapter for students to test their knowledge.

These new exercises ask the student to go beyond applying the concepts and explain their results in written form. Preparing for this Section quizzes verify that students have the prerequisite knowledge for the next section, and include page numbers for quick reference.   Practice, Practice, Practice NEW! Over 350 new and updated Exercises include new emphasis on explaining the results of statistical analysis in students' own words. Answers in the back of the text provide recommended explanations of the statistical results. In addition, exercises have been written to require students to understand pitfalls in faulty statistical analysis. NEW! Retain Your Knowledge problems help students in recalling skills learned earlier in the course, so that the material is fresh for the final exam. These appear periodically at the end of section exercises.   NEW! Big Data Problems let students analyze data sets with more than 50 observations, which cover tens of thousands of observations with thousands of variables, giving them a taste of professional data analysis.. These problems are marked with an icon and the data is available at www.pearsonhighered.com/sullivanstats. Step-by-Step Annotated Examples guide students from problem to solution in three easy-to-follow steps. In this edition, the solutions demonstrate using both by-hand and technology methods, where applicable. Problem lays out the scenario of the example. Approach provides insight into the thought process behind the methodology used to solve the problem. Solution goes through the solution utilizing the methodology suggested in the approach. “Now Work” problems follow most examples so that students can practice the concepts shown. NEW! Over 100 new and updated examples keep this text fresh and relevant for today's students. Case Studies conclude each chapter, promoting active learning and helping students apply their knowledge.
