Statistics With Humans (Original PDF from Publisher)

Statistics With Humans is an engaging and insightful textbook that takes a fresh approach to the often-intimidating world of statistics. Translating her passion and energy for teaching into the book, author Katie Jacobs makes statistics accessible for even the most math-phobic student. Drawing on examples from students′ everyday lives and written in a friendly and conversational tone, this book demystifies statistics for the social and behavioral sciences. With eye-catching full-color photos and numerous practice opportunities, this new book guides students from foundational concepts to more complex statistical analyses. The book focuses on the application of concepts and can also be used by those teaching with SPSS as it includes directions for using SPSS to set up and run each statistical test.
