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.
Not using at this time, but will consider use with advanced students in future semesters.
still considering it for next year, but decided to use Agresti & Finlay's Statistical Methods for the Social Scineces instead, as it is more comprehensive.
like Salkind better
This is a well-written textbook. It explains the statistics in a very easy to understand. However there are lots of examples that international students might not understand.
Highly recommended. Layout not busy and support commentary with application
This text makes a boring and in some cases a scary subject more accessable through this basic but clear understandable statistics.
I am looking for a book with a student version of SPSS
I liked the step-by-step instructions on how to use SPSS and the clear writing/descriptions included in the text.
