IntroStats Online by Greg Francis is an introductory-level statistics textbook in an online format, featuring text, extensive practice questions, interactive demonstrations, simulations, and calculators. It is designed to fully immerse students in statistical concepts in an engaging, online environment.

IntroStats Online includes access to STATLAB Online™, an interactive laboratory where students conduct classic behavioral experiments from data collection to statistical analysis. Students participate in the experiments and are guided through an analysis of their own data. Each lab is designed to highlight a specific kind of statistical analysis. Students’ data is then automatically graded and available to you, as their instructor.

Praise for IntroStats Online:

“I believe my students would be more likely to click on these activities online than they are to work a problem in a traditional textbook, I also like the immediate feedback with explanation. The information is presented in a straightforward, easy to understand manner. The interactive online course, I believe, will be utilized more than a traditional textbook by our tech savvy students.”

- Laura Ringer, Department of Psychology, Newberry College

“I absolutely love the self-test items. They require comprehension and application of the material covered in that section. They’re brief enough to not get tedious, but long enough to hit some of the more important points of that section.”

- Heidi Legg Burross, Department of Educational Psychology, University of Arizona

“I really liked these end-of-the-chapter exercises because it will really force the students to 1) pay attention as they read through the chapters and 2) to identify areas where they may not fully understand so that they can go back and spend more time on these topical areas.”

- Kevin M. Beaver, Department of Criminology and CJ, Florida State University
