It provides a solid background of the core statistical concepts taught in most introductory statistics textbooks. Mathematical proofs are deemphasized in favor of careful explanations of statistical constructs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe text begins with coverage of descriptive statistics such as measures of central tendency and variability, then moves on to inferential statistics. Transitional chapters on \u003cem\u003ez\u003c\/em\u003e-scores, probability, and sampling distributions pave the way to understanding the logic of hypothesis testing and the inferential tests that follow. Hypothesis testing is taught through a four-step process. These same four steps are used throughout the text for the other statistical tests presented including \u003cem\u003et\u003c\/em\u003e tests, one- and two-way ANOVAs, chi-square, and correlation. A chapter on nonparametric tests is also provided as an alternative when the requirements cannot be met for parametric tests.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBecause the same logical framework and sequential steps are used throughout the text, a consistency is provided that allows students to gradually master the concepts. Their learning is enhanced further with the inclusion of \"thought questions\" and practice problems integrated throughout the chapters. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew to the second edition: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapters on factorial analysis of variance and non-parametric techniques for all data\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdditional and updated chapter exercises for students to test and demonstrate their learning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFull instructor resources: test bank questions, Powerpoint slides, and an Instructor Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cheryl Ann Willard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367203529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367203528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.76d","brand":"Cheryl Ann Willard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983732670719,"sku":"9780367203528","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0c6717a0-79e7-4b84-a6f3-2d58f567bc03.jpg?v=1683268392","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/statistical-methods-cheryl-ann-willard-9780367203528","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
