Description
Mathematics geniuses don't make house calls. And even if they did few people could afford their tutoring services. So over 60,000 people relied upon the first two editions of this book to teach themselves statistics. Statistics, 3rd edition is the latest (and undeniably the best) way to learn when, why, and how to apply basic statistical tests. By following this self-teaching guide, anyone who can work with + and - signs in simple equations can learn statistics. You will teach yourself how to perform a variety of useful statistical tests and procedures - from setting up tables and computations to analyzing your own data. In addition, you will discover how to apply basic statistical concepts and procedures to such diverse areas as education, engineering and the social, biological and physical sciences. Totally updated, the book incorporates actual computer printouts of test readings, and interprets common computer statistical programs.
