Présentation de l'éditeur

Accessible, engaging, and informative, this book will help any social science student approach statistics with confidence. With a well-paced and well-judged integrated approach rather than a simple linear trajectory, this book progresses at a realistic speed that matches the pace at which statistics novices actually learn. Spanning statistics basics like variables, constants, and sampling through to t-tests, multiple regression and factor analysis, it builds statistical literacy while also covering key research principles like research questions, error types and results reliability.

It shows how to: describe data with graphs, tables, and numbers; calculate probability and value distributions; test a priori and post hoc hypotheses; conduct Chi-squared tests and observational studies; and, structure ANOVA, ANCOVA, and factorial designs.
