NOW WITH SPSS STUDENT VERSION 13.0!

The bestselling text Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics teaches an often intimidating and difficult subject in a way that is informative, personable, and clear. Researchers and students who find themselves uncomfortable with the analysis portion of their work have appreciated the book's unhurried pace and thorough, friendly presentation.

Neil J. Salkind takes students through various statistical procedures, beginning with correlations and graphical representation of data and ending with inferential techniques and analysis of variance. In addition, there is coverage of SPSS (and data sets for hands-on experience available at http:/www.soe.ku.edu/faculty/Salkind/stats_fpwhs/), and a review of more advanced statistical techniques, such as reliability, validity, introductory non-parametric statistics, and more. Pedagogical features include sidebars offering additional technical information about the topic and set-off points that reinforce major themes. Finally, answers to chapter exercises and a complete glossary are located at the back of the book.
