Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics

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, and includes reviews of more advanced techniques, such as reliability, validity, introductory non-parametric statistics, and more. The text includes a key feature called "The Path to Wisdom and Knowledge": a flowchart in each of the main chapters showing readers how to select the appropriate test statistic. The Eighth Edition has combined and streamlined chapters so that there are now 14 chapters rather than 19, the end-of-chapter questions have been thoroughly revised, dozens of new research examples have been added, a new section on artificial intelligence chatbots for statistical analyses is provided, the SPSS appendix has been updated for the newest version of the software, and the glossary has been extensively revised and improved for clarity. The text is now available in full color, and available in Sage's award-winning Vantage learning platform.
