This text addresses two important issues in the introductory statistics textbook market. Firstly, most texts place undue emphasis on mathematical formulas and procedures with complex computations. Secondly, most texts give little explanation of the conceptual nature and practical importance of the formulas and procedures. Heiman's text solves these issues by firmly rooting statistical procedures in the research context. The result is Heiman's unusually engaging approach in Basic Statistics for the Behavioural Sciences 4e that demystifies and fully explains statistics, without skipping relevant topics or simply presenting formulas. Highlights of the new fourth edition Include: - New! Plain English policy for the maths anxious student. The entire text has been extensively revised and edited to streamline the narrative, without removing content - Conceptual presentations have been tightened and a number of new explanatory techniques have been added - Greater emphasis in the fourth edition is placed on explaining how to use statistics and how to "think" in statistical terms - Expanded practice problems offered.
Now a minimum of 25 conceptual, procedural or computational problems are provided at the end of each chapter - Pedagogically effective use of examples: virtually all examples include specific variables and research questions instead of generic data - Revised reference tables in the front-end pages provide guidelines for selecting from the descriptive and inferential procedures discussed in the text based on the type of data or research design employed"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
