Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education. All rights reserved So, What Is Statistics? Our ability to answer questions and draw conclusions from data depends largely on our ability to understand variation. The key to learning from data is understanding the variation that is all around us.

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education. All rights reserved How Will This Book Help? You’ll learn the process of model development and come to understand the limitations both of the data you analyze and the methods you use. Graphs Graphs and tables help you understand what the data are saying.

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education. All rights reserved How Will This Book Help? Process Plan first. Know where you’re headed and why. Do. The mechanics of calculating statistics and making graphical displays are important, but the computations are usually the least important part of the process. Report what you’ve learned.

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education. All rights reserved How Will This Book Help? Guided Example Each chapter applies the new concepts taught in worked examples called Guided Examples. Sometimes, in the middle of the chapter, you’ll find sections called Just Checking, which pose a few short questions you can answer without much calculation. Just Checking

Brief Case At the end of nearly every chapter you’ll find a problem or two that use real data sets and ask you to investigate a question or make a decision. These “brief cases” are a good way to test your ability to attack an open-ended (and thus more realistic) problem.

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education. All rights reserved How Will This Book Help? At the end of each section, you’ll find a larger project that will help you integrate your knowledge from the entire section you’ve been studying. These more open- ended projects will help you acquire the skills you’ll need to put your knowledge to work in the world of business. Data sets for these case studies can be found on the disk included with this text. M

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education. All rights reserved How Will This Book Help? The easiest way to calculate statistics with a computer is with a statistics package. We present generic output and point out common features that you should look for. We also give a table of instructions to get you started on : Excel, Minitab, SPSS, and JMP. More detailed Instructions for Excel 2003 and DataDesk can be found on the CD accompanying this textbook. Technology Help: Using the Computer

At the end of each chapter, you’ll see a brief summary of the important concepts in a section called What Have We Learned? That section includes a list of the Terms and a summary of the important Skills you’ve acquired in the chapter.

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education. All rights reserved At the end of each chapter you’ll find Exercises designed to help you learn to use the Statistics you’ve just read about. You’ll find the data for exercises marked with a red on the book’s website, or on the book’s disk. You’ll find answers to the odd-numbered exercises at the back of the book. 1.2 How Will This Book Help? Exercises
