Cengage is proud to support the open source teaching community through our partnership with OpenIntro. OpenIntro Statistics, 4th edition, by David M. Diez, Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel, and Christopher D. Barr is a college-level textbook covering data basics, probability, distributions, inference for means and proportions, and regression, including multiple and the basics of logistic regression. The WebAssign component for this title features an eBook, class analytics tools, and instant student feedback on questions.

Features
  • Every WebAssign question links to applicable chapters in a fully integrated eBook.
  • Lecture videos created by OpenIntro that provide an overview of the content in each section.
  • Over 300 end-of-section problems direct from the text suitable for homework, review, and tests.
  • Labs (Lab) – Students can perform real statistical analysis in class or online with premade and module-specific Stats Labs. Require students to use the instructor-selected data analysis tool to analyze a real data set, pulling together knowledge learned from that module and previous material to facilitate whole-picture learning.
  • Project Milestones (PJT) allow one place for students to ideate, collaborate, and submit a longer-term project. The four sequential milestones are:
    1. Research Design
    2. Gather Data
    3. Analyze Data
    4. Present Results
  • Use the Textbook Edition Upgrade Tool to automatically update all of your assignments from the previous edition to corresponding questions in this textbook.
