Fundamentals of Social Statistics

Description

Originally designed as an OER textbook for the social and behavioral sciences, this text takes an "intelligent consumerism" perspective on a field much maligned by students. While formulas for "hand" computations are provided in text boxes, the bulk of this little book focuses on obtaining the desired results from Excel and interpreting those results in a plain English context. The author's focus is decidedly conceptual rather than taking a more traditional computational approach. This text is appropriate for a first course as well as a user-friendly desk reference for more advanced courses.
