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\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\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\u003eNew to the second edition: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \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 \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheryl Ann Willard\u003c\/strong\u003e serves on the faculty of the Psychology Department at Lee College in the Houston, Texas area.
