Answering Questions With Statistics
- Robert Szafran - Stephen F. Austin State University, USA
Finally, an introductory statistics text that provides broad coverage, limited theory, clear explanations, plenty of practice opportunities, and examples that engage today's students!
Using General Social Survey data from 1980 and 2010, this textbook asks students to consider how young adults have changed over the last 30 years. Students learn to select an appropriate data analysis technique, carry out the analysis, and draw conclusions.
“This is a very student-friendly text. The author has succeeded in writing a basic statistics text that is inviting rather than off-putting.”
“Accessible and approachable, this book makes a conscious effort to appeal to contemporary social science students who may not have a strong affinity for mathematics.”
“I truly value the ease with which the author conveys oftentimes confusing and scary information to students.”
“Those looking for a full integration of the theory of statistics and its application (through SPSS) will find no better book that this one.”
“The text proceeds in a logical order, building upon what was covered earlier. This is one of its strong suits: it presents the topics in a logical, practical order. It also covers the necessary statistics.”
far too simplistic and too much emphasis on SPSS
Ordered for Library. Solid book, but not the exact fit that I was looking for.
Not exactly what I needed. It is a good book
This book explains in laymen manner about the application of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics in social science research. Excellent for those who want an instant knowledge about statistics.
