WebAssign, the market-leading online homework and assessment courseware, includes over 1200 textbook exercises, featuring algorithmically-randomized values and automatically graded answers, is available to support MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS WITH APPLICATIONS. Ideal for homework, practice, or testing, WebAssign includes the fully-interactive eTextbook, complete with new R appendix.
The authors efficiently use mathematics as a necessary tool to promote a firm understanding of statistical techniques.
Stressing connectivity, the authors explain not only how major topics play a role in statistical inference but also how the topics are related to one another. These integrating discussions appear most frequently in chapter introductions and conclusions.
This text takes a practical approach in both the exercises throughout and the useful topics in statistical methodology covered in the last five chapters.
