Using and Interpreting Statistics

Beschreibung

In this accessible textbook, award-winning teacher Eric Corty speaks to students in their language, with an approachable voice that conveys the basics of collecting and understanding statistical data step by step. Examples come from the behavioural and social sciences, as well as from recognizable aspects of everyday life to help students see the relevance of what they are studying.
With plenty of opportunities for practice and an emphasis on interpretation, Eric Corty’s engaging textbook is exceptionally well suited for behavioural science students studying statistical practice in their field for the first time.

• An explanation-driven approach with carefully scaffolded presentations that make statistics less intimidating and more intuitive 
  
• Multiple opportunities for practice including worked examples, practice problems,  application demonstrations, and abundant end-of-chapter exercises

• Quick reference cards covering essential concepts and formulas that can be torn out of the book for convenient referencing or on-the-go studying.
  

• Revised examples and exercises to provide students with a clear and complete picture of how statistical practice works in the behavioural sciences today
  
• Chapters feature a wealth of new exercises reflecting the updated examples and content
  
• New four part structure in the table of contents to clearly present the divisions between major concepts in the text
