Description

Interpreting Basic Statistics gives students valuable practice in interpreting statistical reporting as it actually appears in peer-reviewed journals.

Features of the ninth edition: • Covers a broad array of basic statistical concepts, including topics drawn from the New Statistics • Up-to-date journal excerpts reflecting contemporary styles in statistical reporting • Strong emphasis on data visualization • Ancillary materials include data sets with almost two hours of accompanying tutorial videos, which will help students and instructors apply lessons from the book to real-life scenarios About this book Each of the 63 exercises in the book contain three central components: 1) an introduction to a statistical concept, 2) a brief excerpt from a published research article that uses the statistical concept, and 3) a set of questions (with answers) that guides students into deeper learning about the concept.

The questions on the journal excerpts promote learning by helping students • interpret information in tables and figures,• perform simple calculations to further their interpretations, • critique data-reporting techniques, and • evaluate procedures used to collect data.

The questions in each exercise are divided into two parts: (1) Factual Questions and (2) Questions for Discussion.

The Factual Questions require careful reading for details, while the discussion questions show that interpreting statistics is more than a mathematical exercise.

These questions require students to apply good judgment as well as statistical reasoning in arriving at appropriate interpretations.

Each exercise covers a limited number of topics, making it easy to coordinate the exercises with lectures or a traditional statistics textbook.
