"Our goal is to give readers the knowledge and skill to use statistics effectively in their professional lives and feel comfortable doing so."--From the Preface

This new textbook, by two renowned authors with many years of teaching experience, provides:

• Relevant examples, review questions, practice problems, and SPSS activities, which help to make the material understandable and interesting
• A student website with videos, interactive concept reviews, image bank, and PowerPoint slides offers students the tools they need to understand the statistical concepts and learn at their own pace
