Step-by-Step Basic Statistics Using SAS: Exercises

With Larry Hatcher's Step-by-Step Basic Statistics Using SAS: Exercises, you apply what you learned in the companion text, Step-by-Step Basic Statistics Using SAS: Student Guide. Using the instruction provided, you soon will be creating data sets and performing statistical analyses to investigate specific research questions. The exercise data is inspired by studies in the social and behavioral sciences, so your analyses and findings mirror real research. Each chapter presents two opportunities to explore the results of the analyses and to practice writing summary reports. For the first exercise, a complete solution is provided, including the SAS program, output, and analysis report, as well as tables and figures. For the second exercise, you supply the solution.

Larry Hatcher applies his broad classroom experience in these easy-to-understand Student Guide and Exercises books, which gently help students through an array of fundamental statistical analyses. Larry is an associate professor of psychology at Saginaw Valley State University and has used SAS software since 1980. A prolific author, his growing list of books includes Using the SAS Windowing Environment: A Quick Tutorial, A Step-by-Step Approach to Using the SAS System for Univariate and Multivariate Statistics (coauthored with Edward J. Stepanski), and A Step-by-Step Approach to Using the SAS System for Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling.
