Elementary Statistics: A Brief Version, 3rd edition is a shorter version of the popular text Elementary Statistics: A Step by Step Approach, 5th edition. This softcover edition includes all the features of the longer book, but is designed for a course in which the time available limits the number of topics covered. The book is written for general beginning statistics courses with a basic algebra prerequisite. The book use a non-theoretical approach, explaining concepts intuitively and teaching problem solving through worked examples step-by-step.
