This text minimizes students anxieties about math by explaining the concepts of statistics in plain language first  before addressing the math. Each formula within the text has a step-by-step example to demonstrate the calculation so students can follow along. Only those formulas that are important for final calculations are included in the text so students can focus on the concepts  not the numbers. A wealth of real-world examples and applications gives a context for statistics in the real world and how it helps us solve problems and make informed choices. New to the Fourth Edition are sections on working with big data  new coverage of alternative non-parametric tests  beta coefficients  and the \"nocebo effect \" discussions of p values in the context of research  an expanded discussion of confidence intervals  and more exercises and homework options under the new feature \"Test Yourself.\" Included with this title:  The password-protected Instructor Resource Site (formally known as SAGE Edge) offers access to all text-specific resources  including a test bank and editable  chapter-specific PowerPoint slides.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648293167157,"sku":"ByrdShop_1506368433","price":197.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781506368436.jpg?v=1781715524","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/statistics-a-gentle-introduction-9781506368436","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
