Why this book
A first statistics course can feel unfamiliar when formulas, research questions, and software arrive together. Neil J. Salkind and Bruce B. Frey introduce the subject in a conversational style, helping readers connect calculations with the questions those calculations are meant to answer. This seventh edition suits students who want explanations they can revisit as their confidence grows.
The statistics textbook moves from averages, variability, graphs, and correlation to probability, hypothesis testing, and comparisons between groups. It also introduces analysis of variance, regression, nonparametric tests, and data mining. SPSS examples connect the concepts with software procedures, while practice material gives readers opportunities to check their understanding.
Use it to prepare for class, review an unfamiliar test, or think through how to explain a result. Pay attention to the reasoning behind each method as well as the arithmetic. The book supports introductory study rather than specialist training in mathematical statistics.
What you'll learn
- Summarize data using averages and measures of variability
- Interpret graphs and correlation coefficients
- Explain probability and hypothesis testing
- Compare groups using statistical tests
- Recognize applications of regression and nonparametric methods
- Connect statistical concepts with SPSS procedures
Not the right book for: Readers seeking an advanced mathematical statistics text or an SPSS software license.
