Synopsis

Popular in previous editions, this Third Edition continues to help build students′ confidence and ability in doing statistical analysis by slowly moving from concepts that require little computational work to those that require more. Author R. Mark Sirkin once again demonstrates how statistics can be used so that students come to appreciate their usefulness rather than fear them. Statistics for the Social Sciences emphasizes the analysis and interpretation of data to give students a feel for how data interpretation is related to the methods by which the information was obtained.

Review:

"This book ensures first that the process is understood and second that the role of the computer is integrated into analysis by using computer printouts for students to work with. . . It is valuable. I recommend it to my students and use it as a reference text myself." 

(Christine Howard Evaluation and Research in Education)

"The exercises are excellent. I think the use of real examples gives relevancy and meaning to the concepts." 

(Holly S. Gimpel)

"The author takes great effort to walk students through concepts with both discussion and illustration." 

(Steve Seitz)

"The author’s clear, concise writing style is one of the strengths of the book. He does a very good job of breaking down complex ideas into their simpler components and presenting the information to the reader."
