Description
This text outlines the major statistical tests used by undergraduates in the social sciences. It provides easy-to-understand explanations of how and why they are used and aims to make statistics much less mysterious. The book provides a simple introduction to the jargon and guides the reader in using computers in statistical analysis. In addition, it can be dipped into so that readers can see why a specific analytical procedure was developed and what it is best used for. Readers can also analyse their own data by following the worked examples provided. The text aims to show that statistics can be a helpful tool to all of us in deciding answers to our research questions.
