Statistics: The Art and Science of Learning From Data, 5th Edition helps you understand what statistics is all about and learn the right questions to ask when analyzing data, instead of just memorizing procedures. It makes accessible the ideas that have turned statistics into a central science of modern life, without compromising essential material. Students often find this book enjoyable to read and stay engaged with the wide variety of real-world data in the examples and exercises. Based on the authors' belief that it's important for you to learn and analyze both quantitative and categorial data, this text pays greater attention to the analysis of proportions than many other introductory statistics texts.
Key features include:
- Greater attention to the analysis of proportions compared to other introductory statistics texts.
- Introduction to key concepts, presenting the categorical data first, and quantitative data after.
- A wide variety of real-world data in the examples and exercises
- New sections and updated content will enhance your learning and understanding.
Pearson MyLab® Students, if Pearson Pearson MyLab Statistics is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN. Pearson MyLab Statistics should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.

- The authors give greater attention to the analysis of proportions than many other introductory statistics texts. Concepts are introduced first with categorical data, and then with quantitative data.
- The importance of the statistical investigative process is emphasized in Chapter 1.
- Featured examples and exercises throughout use the most recent data available.
- The approach emphasizes using interval estimation for inference with less reliance on significance testing, and incorporates the 2016 American Statistical Association's statement on P-values.
- The updated content in Chapter 1 offers an additional introduction to the opportunities and challenges with Big Data and Data Science, including a discussion of ethical considerations.
- A new section in Chapter 2 refers to the main features of linear transformations.
- There is further emphasis on the two descriptive statistics, most likely encountered by students in their daily lives (differences and ratios of proportions) in Section 3.1.
- An expanded discussion on multivariate thinking is presented in Section 3.3.
- A significantly expanded coverage of resampling methods, with a thorough discussion of the bootstrap for one and two-sample problems and the correlation coefficient, in new Sections 7.3, 8.3, and 10.3.
- Continued emphasis on using interval estimation for inference and less reliance on significance testing incorporates the 2016 American Statistical Association’s statement on P-values.
- A new section on statistical software at the end of each chapter provides commented R code, showing students how the analysis can be replicated and carried out in the statistical software R.
- Many new and updated featured examples and exercises use the most recent data available.
