Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics

Bys: Salkind, Neil J. and Frey, Bruce B.

The bestselling Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics teaches an often intimidating and difficult subject in a way that is informative, personable, and clear. The authors take students through various statistical procedures, beginning with correlation and graphical representation of data and ending with inferential techniques and analysis of variance. In addition, the text provides instruction in SPSS(R), and includes reviews of more advanced techniques, such as reliability, validity, introductory non-parametric statistics, and more.

The Eighth Edition features a streamlined structure, reducing the total chapters from 19 to 14 for improved clarity and focus. Content has been thoroughly revised for better readability, and the text is now available in full color. It′s also available in Sage Vantage, an easy-to-use learning platform that offers practice problems, end-of-chapter quizzes, author videos, data activities, and other interactive tools to support student learning.
