In the technologically advanced world of today, we encounter data and statistics daily. From news outlets to retail to social media, it is becoming ever more important to understand statistics and how they are used. Introduction to Probability and Statistics is written to help “train your brain” for statistical thinking and understanding, a theme central to this 4th Canadian Edition. This text contains full coverage of descriptive and inferential statistics while taking a user-friendly approach to help students practice, understand and connect to statistical thinking. The 4th Canadian Edition aims to bolster student success with exercises that encourage students to use the breadth of their knowledge and develop strong conceptual foundations. Distinctly Canadian and engaging examples and data, such as that from social media, make Introduction to Probability and Statistics relevant and modern for today’s Canadian students and instructors.
