Essentials of Statistics Chapter 98 -- Conversion Guide

Essentials of Statistics Correlation Guide

Correlation Guide

Statistics professors increasingly want a more economical and streamlined text that covers only those topics that are included in their Elementary Statistics course. Essentials of Statistics, First Edition, is the book for these instructors. Drawn from Elementary Statistics, 8e, Essentials will have the same strong pedagogy as the Eighth Edition: conversational writing style, flow charts, margin essays, ample number of examples that involve real data, numerous and varied exercises, and emphasis on interpretation.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TRIOLA ESSENTIALS AND 8E:

Essentials is a paperback
The total page count of Essentials is 640, versus 896 for 8e.
The Using Technology feature, which includes output and instructions for Excel, Minitab, STATDISK, and the TI-83 Plus, is still included in the sections. However, in Essentials, the Technology Projects at the end of the sections have been removed.
The number of Beyond the Basics exercises has been reduced in Essentials.
All interviews are one-page in Essentials versus two in 8e.
The glossary has been deleted and is available on the Web site for Essentials.
The bibliography has been removed in Essentials.

CONTENT CHANGES

The following material has been reduced or deleted:

Deleted Section 3-6, 4-5, 5-7, 8-5, 8-6, 9-5, and 9-6
Deleted Section 11-3 and combined Chapters 10 and 11
Deleted Chapters 12 and 13

When covering correlation/regression, Triola Essentials includes Variation and Prediction Intervals (Section 9-4 in 8e).
Essentials has a section on rank correlation which nicely illustrates a method of nonparametric statistics. None of the competing brief textbooks includes this coverage.

Below is how Elementary Statistics, 8e compares to Essentials of Statistics.
