WebAssign is a powerful digital solution designed by educators to help students learn maths and science, not just do homework. Instructors get the flexibility to define mastery thresholds and manage student learning aids down to the question level giving students the support they need to learn when they need it. WebAssign provides extensive content, instant assessment, and superior support.

With simulation questions, labs, projects, news-sourced videos with questions, and more available in the online course, this solution includes an entire course package designed to teach students the basics of statistics and how to apply those to real-world situations. Help your students think statistically, overcome their apprehension about statistics, and learn to love a subject that once inspired anxiety. In this 8th Edition, International Metric Edition, students see the real-world significance of statistics and engage with new features that help them develop critical thinking and statistical literacy skills. The use of the graphing calculator, Microsoft® Excel®, MINITAB®, MINITAB EXPRESS, and SPSS® is covered but not required.
