How to Think about Statistics

More about the book

Explores the underlying logic of data analysis, explaining basic statistical concepts step by step to show how numbers are gathered, interpreted, and, in some cases, misapplied. Math-phobic readers will appreciate the engaging writing style and its avoidance of arcane mathematics and dull computation. Includes chapter summaries, worked calculations, and sample applications and solutions. This sixth edition draws on a broader range of current examples from areas such as psychology, medicine, and sports. The author is a retired professor of psychology at Boise State University.
