Description
Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics, 8th edition
Neil J. Salkind and Bruce B. Frey walk readers through organizing raw data, calculating correlation coefficients and mapping normal curves before moving into hypothesis testing, independent t-tests and analysis of variance (ANOVA) in Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics. The 8th edition is built for students taking their first data analysis course.
It does not assume prior comfort with formulas, and moves at a pace meant for students seeing this material for the first time.
From raw data to hypothesis testing
The book moves in order: organizing raw data points first, then correlation coefficients and normal curves, before introducing hypothesis testing, independent t-tests and ANOVA. Each stage builds on the last rather than treating the tests as separate topics.
Fourteen focused chapters
The eighth edition condenses the material into 14 chapters, with full-color graphs and summary tables meant to make trends easier to read at a glance.
Working in SPSS
Step-by-step walkthroughs cover running computations in IBM SPSS Statistics. The book also includes two appendices for extra practice: SPSS in Less Than 30 Minutes and The 10 Commandments of Data Collection.
