Statistical Approaches in Excellent Research Methods is a most clearly written modern and practical book with simple, direct, easy-to-understand and highly motivating information. It is a fresh approach to the teaching, learning and application of statistics as an exciting field that has very central and robust place in research in particular, and in virtually all spheres of human endeavor. While Chapter 1 is an exploration of the fundamental concepts in inferential statistics, Chapter 2 presents all about descriptive statistics. Each of the inferential statistical tests that research could require is lucidly explained with its rationale, application and interpretation in Chapters 3 to 8. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has so revolutionized all spheres of human endeavor to the extent that its effective and efficient use or otherwise in any area is synonymous with the success or failure, respectively, of that field.
