The book assumes no mathematical training and uses a minimum of jargon and symbolism. Particular attention is paid to the validity and use of statistical procedures, the interpretation of results, and the meanings of conclusions. Full explanations of statistical methods are given.

About this title

Book Description:

Assuming no mathematical training and using a minimum of jargon and symbolism, the third edition of this textbook provides a clear introduction to the principles and elementary techniques of statistical reasoning.

Review:

"...an impressively thorough introduction to statistics...While the title indicates a bent toward biological research, and indeed many examples are drawn from that discipline, the book remains an excellent introduction to statistics for students in virtually any field."
