For courses in Introductory Statistics.

Encourage statistical thinking with innovative tools and technology

Stats: Data and Models helps students think critically about data while maintaining core concepts and unparalleled readability. Technology and simulations demonstrate variability at critical points throughout, guiding students to understand more complicated statistical concepts they’ll encounter later in the course. Exposure to large data sets and multivariate thinking prepares them to become critical data consumers.

The 6th Edition is aligned with the new 2026 GAISE adopted by the American Statistical Association. It increases use of the authors' signature tools for teaching about randomness, sampling distribution models, and inference. Each chapter now includes current discussions of ethical issues and concludes with student projects suitable for collaborative work; discussion of models for data is expanded; and much more.
