Elementary Statistics in Social Research Eleventh Edition

Excellent shipping. Pacakage came on time. Great communication. Decribtion of product was exact. Overall and really good service.

Item was newer than if I bought it from our dusty bookstore. And at a tenth the price. Got it in one day . The book itself breaks it down very well with step by step instructions. An easy read

this was not a favorite class of mine, but this book got me through the worst of it!

Excellent description of the purpose and procedures of basic statistical techniques. Uses simplified formulas, and does not get lost in the math. Easy to read and understand. Good for social science and public policy courses, including public administration. Only drawback: does not effectively incorporate computer applications.

One of the best statistics books I can think of for social scientists who are not well aquainted with statistical procedures. The book is structured in several chapters, each concentrating on one statistical problem. In the first part of each chapter the theoretical background is given, followed by examples. Then, other examples are given, so that it becomes easily understandable how to correctly use the formulas respectively when they can't be used. Finally, there is a part of exercises where the reader may apply his new knowledge, before proceeding to the next chapter. However, it is just an introduction, not dealing with more complex statistical problems. Very recommendable for anyone who needs a solid basic knowledge in statistic or who wants how to start processing existing data.
