Statistics and Data Analysis for Social Science
About this book
Apply statistics to your everyday life.Ā
Statistics and Data Analysis for Social Science helps students to build a strong foundational understanding of statistics by providing clarity around when and why statistics useful. Rather than focusing on the "how to" of statistics, author Eric J. Krieg simplifies the complexity of statistical calculations by introducing only what is necessary to understanding each concept. Every chapter is written around and applied to a different social problem or issuesāenabling students to broaden their imagination about the statistical "tools" that can be used to make sense of our world and, maybe, to make the world a better place.Ā
In addition to updating all the tables and examples with new data, theĀ Second EditionĀ has replaced the section on SPSS with three new sets of exercises at the end of each chapter:
- Chapter ExercisesĀ for students complete during their reading and bring questions to class,
- In-Class ExercisesĀ that focus on the areas that students struggled with during their reading, and
- Homework ExercisesĀ that can be assigned if students need extra practice with the concepts.
