Description
A brief supplement for courses in Statistics and Research Methods for the Social Sciences this book offers reluctant, math-phobic students a unique blend of humor and common sense in a brief introduction to statistics for the social sciences. The objective of the book is two-fold: (1) to give students an understanding of the concepts and computations of basic statistics, and (2) to train students to overcome math anxiety and avoidance responses that interfere with learning.
