Summary

Consistent with the 'workshop approach,' Allan Rossman and Beth L. Chance, joined here by Barr von Oehsen, have revised this version of Workshop Statistics with graphing calculator technology. Examples and exercises have been modified for use with the graphing calculator, integrating the TI-83' throughout. Short computer-program code is included in appendices, for use in programming calculators.
