Dan Larose's Discovering Statistics is the ideal text for instructors who want to teach the basics of statistical computation as well as how to interpret and apply the results of those computations. Using real data, contemporary examples, step-by-step solutions, extensive pedagogy, and support for common statistical software options, the text familiarizes students with essential computational skills, while helping them build the conceptual understanding needed to interpret and explain their findings. As a result, Discovering Statistics helps students develop a solid and lasting "statistical sense" that will prove valuable throughout their academic and professional careers.
 
This is the LaunchPad version of the textbook. Built around the most common issues teachers face, LaunchPad provides students with everything they need to prepare for class and exams. For instructors, LaunchPad offers everything needed to quickly set up a course (using pre-built units), customize content to a syllabus, craft presentations and lectures, assign and assess readings and activities, and guide the progress of individual students and the class as a whole.

With LaunchPad all online resources for the text are housed in one location, including:
- An interactive e-Book combining a complete, online version of the textbook with digital assets linked at point of use.

- LearningCurve provides students and instructors with powerful adaptive quizzing, a game-like format, direct links to the e-Book, and instant feedback. 

- Statboard Examples illustrating difficult topics through stepped-out whiteboard explanations.

- Statistical Software offerings include W.H.Freeman's own CrunchIt!®, powered by R, and JMP Student Edition. Both options include pre-loaded data sets.

- New Video Technology Manuals available for TI-83/84 calculators, Minitab, Excel, JMP, SPSS, R, Rcmdr, and CrunchIt!® provide brief instructions for using specific statistical software through short video clips.
