Overview
Now including news-sourced videos, test banks, labs, simulation questions, projects, and hundreds of new questions with new interactive homework help in the course, WebAssign for Brase/Brase’s Understanding Basic Statistics, 8e, International Metric Edition is the complete teaching tool for Statistics.
This flexible and fully customizable online instructional solution puts powerful tools in the hands of instructors. Deploy assignments, instantly assess individual student and class performance, and help your students master the course concepts. With WebAssign’s powerful digital platform and Understanding Basic Statistics, International Metric Edition specific content, you can tailor your course with a wide range of assignment settings, add your own questions and content, and access student and course analytics and communication tools.
- MasterIt Tutorials break big problems down into smaller, more manageable steps to help students get to the root of the question.
- Watch It Question-Level Videos for a subset of quantitative problems help guide students through a like-problem when they’re having trouble finding the way. One algorithmic version of each problem having a Watch It video is shown.
- Stats in Practice questions are in WebAssign for the first time. These multiple-choice questions each start with a short news-sourced video to introduce each chapter so that students can understand real world context of what they’re learning and stay engaged through the whole chapter.
- Simulation Questions by JMP require students to interact with a simulation of real data in our JMP interactive applet within WebAssign to answer the questions below.
- Labs require students to use the instructor-selected data analysis tool to analyze a real data set – pulling together knowledge learned from that chapter and previous material to facilitate whole-picture learning.
- Project Milestones allow one place to ideate, collaborate, and submit a longer-term project.
- Concept Questions provide a new way of engaging with non-computational questions. Students enter a free response before they choose a multiple choice answer, closing the gap between homework and test preparedness.

FOR STUDENTS
Understanding Basic Statistics, International Metric Edition
ISBN: 9781337782180
Brase/Brase’s UNDERSTANDING BASIC STATISTICS, 8E, INTERNATIONAL METRIC EDITION provides instructors a streamlined and effective way to teach the essentials of statistics, including early coverage of regression, within a more limited timeframe. 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.
