Introductory Statistics Using SPSS

By Herschel Knapp

The friendly and practical approach to this learning package is ideal for in-class / lab SPSS work, remote learning, and self-paced independent study. This accessible introduction to statistics shows students how to properly select, process, and interpret statistics without heavy emphasis on theory, formula derivations, or abstract mathematical concepts. Each chapter is structured to answer questions that students most want answered:

What statistical test should I use for this situation? How do I set up the data? How do I run the test? How do I interpret and document the results?

Requiring no hand calculations, this highly applied book helps students "get the story" from their data. They learn by doing, completing practice exercises at the end of each chapter. Video tutorials on the accompanying website clearly demonstrate how to set up the data and run the test in SPSS. Instructor support includes sample syllabi, all datasets, and PowerPoint presentation files for each chapter.
