Answering Questions With Statistics
- Robert Szafran - Stephen F. Austin State University, USA
“This is a very student-friendly text. The author has succeeded in writing a basic statistics text that is inviting rather than off-putting.”
“Accessible and approachable, this book makes a conscious effort to appeal to contemporary social science students who may not have a strong affinity for mathematics.”
“I truly value the ease with which the author conveys oftentimes confusing and scary information to students.”
“Those looking for a full integration of the theory of statistics and its application (through SPSS) will find no better book that this one.”
“The text proceeds in a logical order, building upon what was covered earlier. This is one of its strong suits: it presents the topics in a logical, practical order. It also covers the necessary statistics.”
Not using at this time, but will consider use with advanced students in future semesters.
This is a well-written textbook. It explains the statistics in a very easy to understand. However there are lots of examples that international students might not understand.
still considering it for next year, but decided to use Agresti & Finlay's Statistical Methods for the Social Scineces instead, as it is more comprehensive.
far too simplistic and too much emphasis on SPSS
I am looking for a book with a student version of SPSS
