Synopsis

Hurlburt's eyeball-estimating approach to comprehending behavioural statistics trains students to think critically and discriminate among various statistical techniques. Using Hurlburt's methods, students learn to "read" a graph of data and quickly predict what the statistic will show. Hurlburt also effectively uses repetition and a progressive, cumulative integration of concepts, so students build upon what they learn as they progress through the course rather than learning individual topics in isolation. Hurlburt's approach not only motivates students, but instills in them a true conceptual understanding of what's going on behind the mechanical calculations of statistical procedures. This edition incorporates more "traditional" content and computer exercises that can be worked with standard statistical packages such as SPSS, SAS, or Minitab.
