Students develop their critical thinking skills through numerous examples, explorations, and activities featuring real data. Students use a variety of analysis throughout the text: inductive and deductive reasoning; tabular, symbolic, verbal, and graphical forms of functions and relations; graphs and pictorial representations of data; interpretations of probabilistic data; surveys and statistical studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSevilla and Somer's \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuantitative Reasoning, 2nd
