Böcker av Fred Pyrczak

Divided into 67 short sections, this text allows instructors to assign only those sections needed to meet the goals of the course. Humorous riddles allow students to check their work without providing the answers; if the answer to a riddle makes sense, then students know they have answered all questions in an exercise correctly. All major statistics typically introduced in a first-semester course are covered. Contains material on effect size, which provides technical solutions to issues raised earlier in the book (such as the limitations of inferential statistics).

The self-correcting, riddle-based worksheets in this book provide students with a fun way to practice their newly acquired skills. In addition, over 40 humorously illustrated study guides give students valuable tips and advice, ranging from tips for using calculators to time-management skills.
