About Statistics: Informed Decisions Using Data, 5th Edition: Statistics: Informed Decisions Using Data, 5th Edition gives students the tools to see a bigger picture and make informed choices. As a current introductory statistics instructor, Mike Sullivan III presents a text that is filled with ideas and strategies that work in today’s classroom. His practical emphasis resonates with students and helps them see that statistics is connected, not only to individual concepts, but also with the world at large. MyLab™ Statistics for this edition takes advantage of data analytics to add additional exercises to high usage chapters. New Technology Support Videos show the author demonstrating easy-to-follow steps to solve a problem in several different formats–by hand, TI-84, and StatCrunch™. This package consists of the textbook and MyLab Statistics access kit which includes a version of the eText with integrated Review. How the Integrated Review MyLab™ Statistics course works for Statistics: Informed Decisions Using Data:.
As a manager using data to make decisions, you need to be able to recognize these situations and use the analysis appropriately. This is not a course in mathematics, although mathematics will be used in the course as.
Students complete an Integrated Review Quiz at the end of each chapter to pinpoint which developmental topics, if any, they need in order to understand the next chapter’s content. Students who demonstrate mastery of the review topics will move straight into the next chapter of Informed Decisions Using Data. Those who require additional review proceed to a personalized review homework assignment that allows them to remediate on the specific prerequisite topics where they need help. Students will also have access to lecture videos, as well as the eText which includes material from from Sullivan’s developmental math series.

Making Informed Decisions: Mike Sullivan helps students connect statistical concepts with their everyday lives, teaching them to think critically and make informed decisions.
Putting It Together–found in chapter openers, sections, and exercises–connects concepts from different chapters to show statistics as a whole, rather than a series of disconnected procedures. These are indexed at the beginning of the book for easy reference. Making an Informed Decision chapter openers pose a question, and then present the statistical concept necessary for prudent decision-making.
This feature engages the reader in the statistical-thinking process and highlights the practicality of statistics. Activities have been updated and moved from the text chapters to their own Student Activities Workbook. Accompanied by an instructor resource guide with suggestions for incorporating activities into the classroom, the new workbooks helps to actively engage students with the material.
Checking Understanding opportunities appear throughout each section and at the end of every chapter for students to test their knowledge. Explaining the Concepts exercises follow Vocabulary & Skill Building and Applying the Concepts exercises at the end of each section.
These new exercises ask the student to go beyond applying the concepts and explain their results in written form. Preparing for this Section quizzes verify that students have the prerequisite knowledge for the next section, and include page numbers for quick reference. Practice, Practice, Practice. NEW!
