helps build real statistical understanding through a set of innovative hands-on activities that can be used each day in conjunction with other texts.  The second edition continues to emphasize discovery by motivating students to apply the skills they have learned to discover the everyday relevance of statistics.  There are over 45 activities and five long-term projects that have been updated and extended to encourage students to experience statistics in context.  While the second edition includes updated technology extensions for Fathom, technology is used throughout the book to extend activities and is not required to complete them.
