Expand description
This unique book includes seven or more exercises within each chapter to allow readers to check their comprehension of the material before moving on to the next section with answers in an appendix. The book introduces statistical inference (hypothesis-testing) using the Chi square test, which is easier to understand than the usual z test. It includes a unique final chapter that ties together earlier material, relates statistics to research, and introduces more advanced topics (i.e., meta-analysis, the general linear model). Finally, it provides demonstrations of simple sampling distributions (Chapter 4) and an intuitive approach to hypothesis-testing (Chapter 5).
