Résumé

This is the perfect text to prepare students for the Advanced Placement statistics exam. Scheaffer and Watkins wrote the course description and teacher's guide for the AP exam, and served on the College Board's planning committee. With Cobb, they served on the National Science Foundation's Focus Group on Statistics.

Statistics in Action is a modern, data-analytic approach that allows students to uncover, display, and explore patterns in data. Most data sets are real-based on up-to-date research, historical case studies, and student-collected data. Students use tools systematically, to build a coherent description of data-set patterns and to describe patterns in the language of their applied contexts.

The text relies heavily on technology. And it shifts from memorizing formulas to learning concepts first through activities, then through an informal graphical approach, and then via a more formal definition. This method motivates students and increases their knowledge.

The Instructor's Guides include an AP-exam correlation, a whole-year plan, and daily lesson plans. The Instructor's Resource Book with CD contains AP practice texts, chapter quizzes and tests, and ideas for projects and extensions.
