<p><b>Praise for the previous edition of <i>Explaining Psychological Statistics</i></b></p> <p>"I teach a master's level, one-semester statistics course, and it is a challenge to find a textbook that is at the right level. Barry Cohen's book is the best one I have found. . . . I like the fact that the chapters have different sections that allow the professor to decide how much depth of coverage to include in his/her course. . . . This is a strong and improved edition of an already good book."<br />—<b>Karen Caplovitz Barrett, PhD, Professor, and Assistant Department Head of Human Development and Family Studies, Colorado State University</b></p> <p>"The quality is uniformly good. . . . This is not the first statistics text I have read but it is one of the best."<br />—<b>Michael Dosch, PhD, MS, CRNA, Associate Professor and Chair, Nurse Anesthesia, University of Detroit Mercy</b></p> <p><b>A clear and accessible statistics text—now fully updated and revised</b></p> <p>Now with a new chapter showing students how to apply the right test in the right way to yield the most accurate and true result, <i>Explaining Psychological Statistics,</i> Fourth Edition offers students an engaging introduction to the field. Presenting the material in a logically flowing, non-intimidating way, this comprehensive text covers both introductory and advanced topics in statistics, from the basic concepts (and limitations) of null hypothesis testing to mixed-design ANOVA and multiple regression.</p> <p>The <i>Fourth Edition</i> covers:</p> <ul> <li>Basic statistical procedures</li> <li>Frequency tables, graphs, and distributions</li> <li>Measures of central tendency and variability</li> <li>One- and two-sample hypothesis tests</li> <li>Hypothesis testing</li> <li>Interval estimation and the t distribution</li> </ul>
