Summary

The Workshop Statistics series has set a standard for teaching statistics in an innovative, investigative, and accessible manner for introductory college courses, as well as for the high school statistics classroom, including AP Statistics. In its third edition, Workshop Statistics: Discovery with Data and the Graphing Calculator continues to emphasize collaborative learning, require student observation, and integrate technology for gathering, recording, and synthesizing data. The third edition provides even more guidance and resources for students to support their active learning of statistics and includes updated real data sets with everyday applications in order to promote statistical literacy. This version of the text is recommended for use with graphing calculator technology and includes integrated instructions for using a Texas Instruments calculator (specifically a TI-83 or TI-84).
