Introductory Statistics is intended for a one- or two-semester introductory statistics course. Students learn the core statistical concepts in an applied setting, and can access more advanced topics (multiple regression, advanced ANOVA, and Experimental Design) through chapters available on the WeissStats CD.

Advances in technology and new insights into the practice of teaching statistics have inspired many of the changes in the Sixth Edition of Introductory Statistics. The Sixth Edition easily fits the organization and pace of various course syllabi and technologies in use. The book offers a flexible organization of content and has a diversified emphasis on using technology such as Minitab, the TI-83 Plus graphing calculator, Excel, and the Internet to investigate statistical problems.
