Purchase options and add-ons

Packed with everyday examples of statistics in the real world, STATISTICS: A TOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH, 10e, provides a reader-friendly introduction to the fundamental concepts of statistics and their practical application to a wide variety of contemporary social issues. Using myriad examples of statistics from daily life, the text demonstrates that statistics are not just abstract mathematical constructs but have practical value in government, education, business, media, politics, sports, and much more. STATISTICS helps you understand the importance of statistical fundamentals in research without requiring advanced mathematical knowledge. It supports effective learning for both math-averse beginners as well as more advanced students in diverse social science disciplines. Focusing on the application of computational research in favor of the computations themselves, the text fully integrates with the most current version of IBM's SPSS software and labels end-of-chapter SPSS problems by the discipline from which they are drawn. The author breaks down even the most complex material to help you master key concepts and develop the skills you need to succeed as a professional in a social science field-or simply to become a 'statistically literate' consumer of social research.

Breaks down statistics in an understandable way. Bought it for a college course. I aced the course..without ever going. Mostly because the book told me everything I needed to know.

This rating is based on the quality and delivery time of the purchase. I had to use this for graduate school so I feel that reviewing the content is somewhat odd considering I don't have a choice to purchase another statistics textbook.

Great explanations, coming from a college student with a math disability. I despise this book. One of the worst classes I’ve ever had to take. It was the one math class i had to take, the rest were waived since I’m stupid. Rent it on here but whatever you do, do not take sociological stats with David Bell at IUPUI. Everyone passed because everyone failed. He had to curve grades so much most of us came out with Cs, the minimum for passing. But anyway yeah good book.
