Eric Corty's engaging, easy-to-understand textbook focuses on the needs of behavioral science students encountering statistical practices for the first time. An award-winning master teacher, Corty speaks to students in their language, with an approachable voice that conveys the basics of statistics step-by-step. Examples come from the behavioral and social sciences, as well as from recognizable aspects of everyday life to help students see the relevance of statistics.
An explanation-driven approach. Eric Corty carefully scaffolds his presentation of statistical concepts to avoid overwhelming students. He writes in a familiar tone that makes statistics less intimidating and more intuitive for first-time stats students.
Multiple opportunities for practice. Chapters feature numerous worked examples, as well as practice problems, an application demonstration, and abundant end-of-chapter exercises arranged in three tiers:
. Review Your Knowledge
. Apply Your Knowledge
. Challenge Your Knowledge
More emphasis on interpretation. The hypothesis testing chapters have separate sections for interpretation that answer the same three questions for each hypothesis test. In addition, Corty's text takes data interpretation to its logical conclusion by showing students how to write up each analysis in the APA-style.
Stat Sheet. These perforated, chapter-by-chapter cards with essential concepts and formulas can be torn out of the book for convenient referencing or on-the-go studying.
