Gets students thinking statistically from the start

Stats: Modeling the World  leads with practical data analysis and graphics to engage students and encourage them to think in a statistical context. Current, relevant examples and data, along with the authors' signature "Think, Show, and Tell" method, help students approach a question, solve the problem and communicate meaning.

The 6th Edition updates and adds examples, exercises and data throughout, with access to the data where possible. Many examples and exercises are based on recent news stories, articles, and other sources, with many listed so students can explore them further.

Hallmark features of this title

• Step By Step Examples emphasize thinking about a question, calculating results, and reporting findings (Think, Show, and Tell). Most are based on recent news stories, articles, and other real-world sources.
• Hundreds of exercises include the most recent data.
• What Have We Learned? chapter-ending study guides review key concepts and terms.
• Practice Exams after each part offer both multiple-choice and free response questions.
• Simulations in almost every chapter introduce a new topic, illustrate a concept, or help analyze data when traditional methods are insufficient.
• TI Tips show how to use TI-84 Plus CE Statistics functions with the StatWizard operating system. TI-Nspire Activities identify demonstrations and investigations for TI-Nspire handhelds.

New and updated features of this title

• Updated examples, exercises, and data:
  • The innovative Think/Show/Tell Step-by-Step examples are revised with new contexts and data.
  • Hundreds of new exercises have been added, and many existing exercises are updated with the most recent data.

Many of the examples and exercises are based on recent news stories, research articles, and other real sources, with many sources listed so students can explore them further.
• Full inclusion of all new topics in the revised AP Statistics syllabus so teachers and students can prepare for the exam without needing to supplement the text.

  • Every change is reflected in the exercises as well as the text, to give students opportunities to practice what they've learned.
