Synopsis

This edition of "How to Think About Statistics" offers a commonsense method for understanding the statistics that affect the reader's decisions and performance in business, in school, as a consumer, and as a voter. Rather than focus on mathematics and computations, this concise volume familiarizes the reader with the underlying logic of statistical analysis and problem-solving. It reveals how empirical studies are conceived, gathered, reported, interpreted - and sometimes obscured and distorted. This edition of the book introduces fundamental concepts, using familiar, concrete examples; develops clearly the implications of those concepts; moves logically from one concept to the next, building a solid framework for interpreting statistical data; includes numerous sample applications drawn from the fields of education, political science, psychology, social work, and sociology.
