About this product
Framed in a student-friendly writing style, this text presents the essentials of statistics with an applied approach. Author Joseph Healey encourages skill development for statistical literacy, emphasizing computational competence and the ability to read social science literature with greater comprehension.
The book includes numerous real-world examples that show the application of statistical concepts to everyday occurrences.
The General Social Survey data set has been updated to 2012 and two new data sets have been added for students to analyze: one for the U.S. states and an international data set with data for 99 nations.
The author has updated and increased the number of “Statistics in Everyday Life” features. These features demonstrate the application of statistical concepts by bringing interesting statistical findings to students' attention and asking questions that encourage students to think about the implications of these findings.
“One Step at a Time” features present at-a-glance computational procedures for each statistic, making it easy for students to get the right answers.
