Elementary Statistics Using the TI-83/84 Plus Calculator, Second Edition, guides students through the concepts behind the calculations, raising confidence in their ability to do statistics. This text features an engaging writing style, an abundance of relevant exercises with real data, and an emphasis on interpretation of statistical results. In addition, this text provides extensive instruction on using the TI-83 and TI-84 Plus (and Silver Edition) calculators for statistics, with information on calculator functions, images of screen displays, and projects designed exclusively for the calculator.
Elementary Statistics Using the Graphing Calculator is written for a one-semester introductory statistics course in which the TI-83 or TI-84 Plus graphing calculator is used. It is appropriate for students majoring in any field. Completion of an elementary algebra course is recommended, but not required, because the use of algebra in the text is minimal.
