Just the Essentials of Elementary Statistics with CDRom - Softcover

Robert Johnson, master teacher and successful author, and co-author Patricia Kuby, keep students in mind in many ways. This edition has a strong computer flavor, with many exercises set up for solution in MINITAB. Johnson and Kuby present statistics as a practical discipline that evolves with the changing needs of our society, giving students a sense of the usefulness and timeliness of the topics and concepts discussed. While studying descriptive and inferential concepts, students become aware of their real-world applications in fields such as the physical and social sciences, business, economics, and engineering. Because this book focuses only on the essentials, it is ideal for use in a variety of course structures. Featuring modern ideas and an easy-to-comprehend exposition, the book places consistent emphasis on real data and graphical analysis. Descriptive coverage of linear correlation and regression appears early.
