Ess Stat F/Beh Sci 5e

Does the thought of taking a statistics course make your students nervous? Authors Frederick J. Gravetter and Larry B. Wallnau use interesting real-world examples and applications to quell student fears and to reveal the ESSENTIALS OF STATISTICS FOR THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES. Students will go beyond thinking of statistics as part of a course they take and will come to appreciate it as a growing field that helps us make sense of data in our information-laden, information-dependent world. Gravetter and Wallnau skillfully demonstrate how having a basic understanding of a variety of statistical procedures will help students understand published findings, as well as become savvy consumers of information. The authors' intuitive, explanatory writing style and use of numerous learning checks allows students to test their understanding before exam time.
