Synopsis:

Emphasizing the logic of statistical principles, this text provides students with guidelines for deciding when to use various procedures. It covers descriptive and inferential statistics, and procedures for assessing practical significance are emphasized over statistical significance. Expanded topics include confidence intervals, visual approaches to understanding data such as box plots and confidence interval graphs, and procedures for detecting outliers. ALso included are multiple comparison procedures and discussions of printouts from three microcomputer statistics packages - JMP, SPSS and SYSTAT.

Review: Charles Halcomb, Wichita State University: "This book continues a strong tradition of organization which facilitates learning and understanding. . . I haven't seen any book that I consider to be its equal. . . . It serves as a gold standard for introductory level statistics books. I particularly like the inclusion in this edition of the introductory section and the summary at the end of the chapter. The review questions included in the new 5th edition are excellent [ ] a substantial improvement over the current 4th edition"
