Interpreting Basic Statistics gives students valuable practice in
interpreting statistical reporting as it actually appears in
peer-reviewed journals. Features of the ninth edition: * Covers a
broad array of basic statistical concepts, including topics drawn
from the New Statistics * Up-to-date journal excerpts reflecting
contemporary styles in statistical reporting * Strong emphasis on
data visualization * Ancillary materials include data sets with
almost two hours of accompanying tutorial videos, which will help
students and instructors apply lessons from the book to real-life
scenarios About this book Each of the 63 exercises in the book
contain three central components: 1) an introduction to a
statistical concept, 2) a brief excerpt from a published research
article that uses the statistical concept, and 3) a set of
questions (with answers) that guides students into deeper learning
about the concept. The questions on the journal excerpts promote
learning by helping students * interpret information in tables and
figures, * perform simple calculations to further their
interpretations, * critique data-reporting techniques, and *
evaluate procedures used to collect data. The questions in each
exercise are divided into two parts: (1) Factual Questions and (2)
Questions for Discussion. The Factual Questions require careful
reading for details, while the discussion questions show that
interpreting statistics is more than a mathematical exercise. These
questions require students to apply good judgment as well as
statistical reasoning in arriving at appropriate interpretations.
Each exercise covers a limited number of topics, making it easy to
coordinate the exercises with lectures or a traditional statistics
textbook.
