ISBN: 9780415787932.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterpreting Basic Statistics gives students valuable practice in interpreting statistical reporting as it actually appears in peer-reviewed journals.\nNew to the eighth edition:\nA broader array of basic statistical concepts is covered, especially to better reflect the New Statistics.\nJournal excerpts have been updated to reflect current styles in statistical reporting.\nA stronger emphasis on data visualizations has been added.\n\nThe statistical exercises have been re-organized into units to facilitate ease of use and understanding.\nAbout this book\nEach of the 64 exercises gives a brief excerpt of statistical reporting from a published research article, and begins with guidelines for interpreting the statistics in the excerpt.\nThe questions on the excerpts promote learning by requiring students to\ninterpret information in tables and figures,\nperform simple calculations to further their interpretations,\ncritique data-reporting techniques, and\nevaluate procedures used to collect data.\nEach exercise covers a limited number of statistics, making it easy to coordinate the exercises with lectures and a main textbook.\nThe questions in each exercise are divided into two parts: (1) Factual Questions and (2) Questions for Discussion. The factual questions require careful reading for details, while the discussion questions show that interpreting statistics is more than a mathematical exercise. These questions require students to apply good judgment as well as statistical reasoning in arriving at appropriate interpretations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45254334939189,"sku":"ByrdShop_0415787939","price":73.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415787932_3dfa9423-809a-4d4b-9d7b-645d4dd59527.jpg?v=1779957973","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/interpreting-basic-statistics-a-workbook-based-on-excerpts-from-journal-articles-9780415787932","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
