PASW Statistics Student Version

PASW Statistics Student Version is ideal for students who are just beginning to learn statistics. The PASW Statistics Student Version provides affordable, professional statistical analysis and modeling tools to students. The easy-to-use interface and comprehensive online help system enable students to learn statistics, not software. The PASW Statistics Student Version has a 13 month license code and is for student home use only. It allows up to 50 variables and 1,500 cases. This software is unable to read PASW Statistics command syntax, and scripting and automation capabilities are unavailable. Add-on modules cannot be used with this package.

Many university and college bookstores stock this software; simply present your valid student identification to purchase. If your campus bookstore does not carry the PASW Statistics Student Version, you can order the software online at www.pearsonhighered.com, or ask the bookstore manager to contact the local Pearson Education distribution office.

PASW Statistics is available for students to purchase through several Web sites. Or, instructors can select textbooks developed through the Integrated Student Version (ISV) Program that are bundled with the PASW Statistics Student Version.
