This book helps students learn to analyze and interpret research data using SPSS 15.0 by demonstrating how to produce a variety of statistics reviewed in intermediate statistics courses. The new edition features SPSS 15.0, but the book can also be used with earlier or future versions of SPSS. Each chapter introduces several related statistics and provides instructions on how to run them and interpret the outputs. Each statistic is described in a user-friendly, nontechnical manner. The book reviews research designs and how to assess the reliability and validity of data. The authors demonstrate how to choose the appropriate statistic based on the research design, use SPSS to answer research questions, and interpret and write about SPSS outputs.
Statistics in Plain English, 2/e provides a brief, simple overview of statistics to help readers gain a better understanding of how statistics work and how to interpret them correctly. It presents brief explanations of statistical concepts and techniques in simple, everyday language. Each self-contained chapter consists of three sections. The first describes the statistic, including how it is used and what information it provides. The second section reviews how it works, how to calculate the formula, the strengths and weaknesses of the technique, and the conditions needed for its use. The final section provides examples that use and interpret the statistic. A glossary of terms and symbols is also included.
