Making Sense of Statistics
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-28962-5 (ISBN)
It focuses on presenting the “why,” as well as the “how” of statistical concepts, rather than computations and formulas. As such, it is suitable for students from all disciplines regardless of mathematical background. Only statistical techniques that are almost universally included in introductory statistics courses, and widely reported in journals, have been included.
This conceptual book is useful for all study levels, from undergraduate to doctoral level across disciplines. Once students understand and feel comfortable with the statistics presented in this book, they should find it easy to master additional statistical concepts.
New to the Eighth Edition
Reorganization of chapters to allow better progress in conceptual understanding
Additional discussions on program evaluation, displays of outcomes, and examples
Chapter objectives at the beginning of each chapter are listed with clear learning objectives for the reader
Expanded appendices include a reference to common computational formulas and examples
A glossary of key terms has been updated to function as a useful vocabulary list for use in a first course in statistics
Updated online resources, including a basic math review and answers, PowerPoint slides, and a test bank of questions
Deborah Mikyo Oh has been Professor in Research Methods and Statistics at California State University, Los Angeles, USA, since 1998. She earned her PhD from Columbia University, New York, USA, and teaches statistics to a diverse student population at undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels.
