Biostatistics for the Biological and Health Sciences, 3rd Edition, authored by Marc M. Triola, Mario F. Triola, and Jason Roy, presents fundamental statistical methods tailored specifically for life and health science disciplines. Developed for college students and academic educators, this textbook establishes essential quantitative skills needed to interpret and analyze empirical research data.

The material develops core statistical concepts through structured thematic units. Introductory chapters focus on exploratory data analysis using summary tables, graphical displays, and descriptive measurements. The narrative then advances to probability concepts, examining discrete probability distributions alongside normal probability distributions to establish theoretical foundations for statistical inference.

Extending into analytical application, the text addresses methods for estimating population parameters, determining sample sizes, and performing hypothesis tests. Available from Pearson with a reflowable layout digital option, the book provides targeted instructional support for undergraduate courses in biological and health sciences.
