There are numerous professionals who are interested in doing research but who may not have had much statistical training as part of their formal education. This book addresses the needs of the "mathematically challenged" in ways no other statistics book does. Most statistics books are written for people who teach statistics, not those who want to learn to use statistics in order to read, understand, and conduct research. KEY TOPICS: Written for those with little mathematical background, this book focuses on teaching students how to select and conduct appropriate statistical tests to answer research questions. This book does not assume a lot of prior knowledge, nor does it assume readers will know what kind of tests to perform. Written in with an engaging tone, this book is for anyone - from teachers to nurses, from social workers to managers - who needs to know the basics of researching and analyzing data.
