Statistics and data analysis for social science / Eric J. Krieg. - Second edition. - xvii, 430 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 423-424) and index
Concepts, variables, and measurement -- Frequency tables -- Measures of central tendency -- Measures of dispersion -- Probability and the normal curve -- Probability : from samples to statistics -- Cross-tabulation and chi-square -- Measures of association for categorical variables -- Analysis of variance -- Correlation and regression
Statistics and Data Analysis for Social Science helps students to build a strong foundational understanding of statistics by providing clarity around when and why statistics useful. Rather than focusing on the "how to" of statistics, author Eric J. Krieg simplifies the complexity of statistical calculations by introducing only what is necessary to understanding each concept. Every chapter is written around and applied to a different social problem or issues--enabling students to broaden their imagination about the statistical "tools" that can be used to make sense of our world and, maybe, to make the world a better place
