Information About

Statistics for the Social Sciences is intended as a textbook for a college or university beginning or introductory statistics class in the social and health sciences that can be completed in one semester. It is a step-by-step illustration of the use of all formulas. The development of concepts is limited to those necessary to understand and apply a technique. Descriptive probabilities and inferential statistics are covered. Its unique feature is the writing and presentation style, designed to help students to understand not only what they are doing, but why they are doing it. Each chapter is divided into sections describing a specific procedure. All concepts and techniques are supported by an example immediately following their presentation. The examples are clearly stated and follow the same format throughout the book. Each example is described as an experiment and is followed by the answer and solution.
