- A mobile, interactive e-book, powered by VitalSource, allows students to highlight and take notes, print select pages, and have the text read aloud to them.
- Over 140 StatTutors--multimedia tutorials that explore important concepts and procedures in a presentation that combines video, audio, and interactive features--are assignable, gradeable, and organized by chapter.
- Applet Activities, called out from the text, are visual interactives that allow students to manipulate data and variables in calculations and see the results graphically. Applets also contain assessment questions to test students’ comprehension.
- Videos provide additional exposure to key concepts and examples. Videos are narrated and close-captioned. Video types include:
- Whiteboard-style problem-solving videos
- StatTutor video lessons
- Animated lectures and documentary-style videos that illustrate real world scenarios involving statistics - EESEE (Electronic Encyclopedia of Statistical Examples and Exercises) Case Studies, developed by the Ohio State University Statistics Department, teach students to apply their statistical skills by exploring actual case studies using real data.
- Video Technology Manuals are brief instructional videos that provide basic introductions for working with CrunchIt!, Excel, SPSS, TI-83/84 calculators, JMP, Minitab, R, and RCmdr.
Statistical software options:
- CrunchIt!, Macmillan’s proprietary online statistical software powered by R, handles every computation and graphing function an introductory statistics student needs. CrunchIt! is preloaded with data sets, and it allows editing and importing additional data.
- Students also receive access to JMP Student Edition (developed by SAS). With the student edition of JMP, students handle large data, visualizations, and analysis for which the professional version is renowned. Additionally, text-specific data sets are included for download.

- Excel
- Minitab
- R & RCmdr
- SPSS
- TI Calculators
- Mac-text & PC-text

IN THE TEXTBOOK:
- Four-Step Problem-Solving examples guide students through the four-step process for working through statistical problems: State, Plan, Solve, Conclude. Students are instructed to apply that process in designated exercises.
- Apply Your Knowledge sections reinforce key concepts with exercises to encourage students to read more actively and cement new concepts by applying them as they learn.
- Examples of Technology, located where most appropriate, display and comment on the output from popular statistical software applications (notably Excel, Minitab, JMP, SPSS, and R) and TI 83/84 graphing calculators in the context of worked examples.
- Definition and Theorem Boxes in the text alert students to key concepts and rules.
- Caution Boxes warn students of common mistakes or misconceptions while solving problems.
- Statistics in Your World callouts further connect statistics topics to the real world, highlighting examples and applications from a variety of fields.
- The main themes of the text are directly connected to and aligned to the GAISE guidelines (from the College Report of the Guidelines in Assessment and Instruction for Statistics Education Project).
- Online Resource Callouts are featured at numerous locations within the chapter, including references to related online resources such as video technology manuals, data sets, and whiteboard-style problem-solving videos.
