Downloadable Data for Statistics in Action
Statistics in Action Instructor’s Resource Book includes a CD-ROM with data sets. The data sets are available in a variety of formats for use with many popular calculators and statistics software packages.
You can also obtain electronic data sets here. The data for each chapter has been compressed into one archive. A “READ ME” PDF explains which data sets are included and how they correlate to the textbook. Data is available in the following formats:
Clicking a link will start the download process. When the file finishes downloading, double-click the file to extract it. The Macintosh files require StuffIt Expander, which is available for free from Aladdin Systems. The PC files are self-extracting.
Calculator Data
To download data lists for the Texas Instruments TI-83 or TI-89, select a chapter. For multivariable data sets, each variable is in a separate list and the collection of lists is saved as a calculator group.
To transfer lists and groups from computer to calculator, you need Texas Instruments’ TI Connect linking software and a TI Connectivity Cable. You can download the software free from Texas Instruments’ Web site, education.ti.com.
TI Connectivity Cables are available for different platforms (Macintosh and PC) and for different ports (USB and serial). Be sure that you have the correct cable for your computer. For more information about choosing a cable or purchasing a cable, visit Texas Instruments’ Web site, education.ti.com.
