Conversion Guide
The following is a conversion guide that notes the changes (in red) from the 7th Edition to the 8th Edition.
1 Introduction to Statistics
- 1-1 Overview
- 1-2 The Nature of Data
- 1-3 Uses and Abuses of Statistics

- 5-6 Normal Distribution as Approximation to Binomial Distribution
- 5-7 Determining Normality This is a new section that was not in 7e.
6 Estimates and Sample Sizes Major organization change: The subsection of "Determining Sample Size" from Section 6-2 of 7e has been moved to its own section: Section 6-4 in 8e.
- 6-1 Overview
- 6-2 Estimating a Population Mean: Large Samples Old 6-2 from 7e, but without subsection of "Determining Sample Size"
- 6-3 Estimating a Population Mean: Small Samples
- 6-4 Determining Sample Size This section was formerly a subsection of Section 6-2.
- 6-5 Estimating a Population Proportion This was Section 6-4 in 7e.
- 6-6 Estimating a Population Variance This was Section 6-5 in 7e.
7 Hypothesis Testing
- 7-1 Overview
- 7-2 Fundamentals of Hypothesis Testing
- 7-3 Testing a Claim about a Mean: Large Samples
- 7-4 Testing a Claim about a Mean: Small Samples
- 7-5 Testing a Claim about a Proportion
- 7-6 Testing a Claim about a Standard Deviation or Variance
8 Inferences from Two Samples Order of sections has been changed.
- 8-1 Overview
- 8-2 Inferences about Two Means: Independent and Large Samples This was Section 8-3 in 7e.
- 8-3 Inferences about Two Means: Matched Pairs This was Section 8-2 in 7e.
- 8-4 Inferences about Two Proportions This was Section 8-6 in 7e.
- 8-5 Comparing Variation in Two Samples This was Section 8-4 in 7e.
- 8-6 Inferences about Two Means: Independent and Small Samples This was Section 8-5 in 7e. Also, the procedure used in 7e required a preliminary F test for equality of variances; this revision includes that procedure but also provides an alternative procedure.
9 Correlation and Regression
