Now packaged with Minitab statistical software! Hampton and Havel's clear, approachable text has guided a generation of biology students through their first foray into statistics. The third edition continues to provide a thorough grounding in all essential methods of descriptive and inferential statistics, ideal for any student seeking a career in experimental sciences. Each chapter has been carefully updated and restructured to enhance understanding, better bridge the gaps between topics, and create a pragmatic approach to learning the many uses of statistics in biology.

The authors complement their descriptions with an abundance of examples and exercises that illustrate how to choose and apply statistical procedures and interpret their results in real-world scenarios, allowing students to develop and test their understanding while building their confidence with the material.

The third edition explores changing standards of technology and includes new boxed examples written by experts of computer-intensive resampling methods, multivariate analysis, and meta-analysis. Use of Minitab's outstanding statistical software (now included on the CD accompanying the book) is incorporated throughout the text.

Review

"By far the most student-friendly and effective statistics book out there for undergraduates. The clear writing, numerous case studies (with data included!), and straightforward math really help students understand statistics and not just memorize formulas." --Jeffrey Simmons, Mount St. Mary's University

"I have used this book for several years because it covers the right amount of material for a one-semester course and because the price is very reasonable." --Tara Rajaniemi, University of Massachusetts, North Dartmouth

"This text is concise but gives sufficient detail for understanding and performing standard descriptive and inferential statistics. The examples are usually based on real data. The packaging with Minitab is beneficial. The reasonable price is a contrast from most publishers." --John Messick, Missouri Southern State University
