Statistics for The Behavioral and Social Sciences: A Brief Course (5th Edition)

For one-quarter/semester courses that focus on the basics in statistics or combine statistics with research methods.

Thefifth edition of Statistics for the Behavioral and Social Sciences builds off an already well-establishedapproach - emphasizing the intuitive, deemphasizing the mathematical, and explaining everything in direct, simple language - but also goes beyond these principles to further student understanding. By usingdefinitional formulas to emphasize the concepts ofstatistics, rather than rote memorization, students work problems in a way that keeps them constantly aware of the underlying logic ofwhat they are doing.
