Practical Statistics for Educators

By Ruth Ravid

Book Overview

Practical Statistics for Educators, Third Edition focuses specifically on the application of research and statistics to education. A clear and easy-to-follow text for the education student in a basic statistics course, this book serves as a resource for educators who need to conduct research. The Third Edition includes newly drawn graphs, an expanded index, and a revised and reorganized glossary that lists and defines the concepts and terms that are introduced in the book.

As was the case with the previous editions, a workbook is available for those who want to review, practice and apply the statistical concepts and materials presented in the text. The exercises in Professor Ravid's Workbook to Accompany Practical Statistics for Educators, Third Edition, coauthored with Elizabeth Oyer, have been modified to match the changes in this text. The workbook includes new exercises in Excel to allow students to perform data analysis using the computer. It is a useful and straightforward supplement to an already popular text.

Practical statistics for educators

What can I say...is there any statistics book out there that's really exciting? NO. But, this book does give excellent common sense and useful examples to explain each statistics term given.

Practical Statistics for Dummies

If you've taken a stat course and need a refresher or if you're taking your first course this book is a must. Easy to read, clear instructions on how to use statistical formulas and what all the symbols mean. I wish I had gotten this book earlier. In my opinion this is the best book you can purchase as a reference or in addtion to a text. If you are totally lost about stats, buy this book.
