Improved Pedagogical Structure
The enhanced pedagogy makes it easier to navigate the text. More examples are called out for students, more key terms are in definition boxes, and more key theorems, procedures, and rules have been identified.

New Examples
Each chapter offers 2 to 3 new examples all based on real-world scenarios of particular interest to students, including:
The Inconvenient Truth about Convenient Samples (Chapter 7, Example 2)
Does Running Lead to Winning in Football? (Chapter 6, Example 9)
Simple Interest on Student Loan (Chapter 21, Example 1)
Chaos in Manhattan (Chapter 23, Example 8)

New Exercises
All exercise sets have been refreshed and updated.
End-of-chapter exercises now include the correlating section number, making it easier to assign homework and create tests.
Skills check exercises have been updated and now include multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions.
