Description

Both students and professionals are increasingly reliant on computers for the analysis of data. This accessible introduction to statistics using the program Minitab assumes no prior knowledge of statistics or computing, and has details of the different versions and options available. It also explains when to apply and how to calculate and interpret a wide range of statistical procedures commonly used in the social sciences. Ranging from chi-square and the t test to analysis of covariance and multiple regression, Duncan Cramer covers a wide choice of statistics, including tests not found in other introductory texts, such as tests for determining whether correlations differ and the extent of agreement between observers. Important statistical points are illustrated with worked numerical examples, and exercises are provided at the end of chapters.
