Category: Mathematics , Probability & Statistics , General

A supplement for an introductory statistics course, enabling students to work independently to learn software skills outside of class and to understand underlying statistical concepts and techniques. Each session addresses a statistical issue and how to approach it with SPSS, rather than highlighting a particular feature of the software. Questions and challenges that illustrate the relevance of statistical reasoning are interwoven throughout. Nearly all data sets used are real, and reflect a variety of disciplines. The authors are affiliated with Stonehill College. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
