STATISTICS IN PLAIN ENGLISH (paper
w/CD) |
|
Statistics in Plain English, 2/e provides a brief, simple
overview of statistics to help readers gain a better understanding of how statistics work
and how to interpret them correctly. It presents brief explanations of statistical
concepts and techniques in simple, everyday language. Each self-contained chapter consists
of three sections. The first describes the statistic, including how it is used and what
information it provides. The second section reviews how it works, how to calculate the
formula, the strengths and weaknesses of the technique, and the conditions needed for its
use. The final section provides examples that use and interpret the statistic. A glossary
of terms and symbols is also included. New features in the second edition include:
* An interactive CD with Power point presentations and problems for each chapter including
an overview of the problem's solution;
* New chapters on basic research concepts including sampling, definitions of different
types of variables, and basic research designs and on nonparametric statistics;
*More graphs and more precise descriptions of each statistic; and
* A discussion of confidence intervals.
This brief paperback is an ideal supplement for statistics, research methods, courses that
use statistics, or as a reference tool to refresh one's memory about key concepts. The
actual research examples are from psychology, education, and other social and behavioral
sciences.
