Statistics professors increasingly want a more economical and streamlined text that covers only those topics that are included in their introductory statistics course. Essentials of Statistics, First Edition, is the book for these instructors. Drawn from Triola's Elementary Statistics, 8e, Essentials has the same strong pedagogy: conversational writing style, flow charts, margin essays, ample number of examples that involve real data, numerous and varied exercises, and emphasis on interpretation.
