This text is a step-by-step guide for students taking a first course
in statistics for social work and for social work managers and
practitioners who want to learn how to use Excel to solve practical
statistics problems in in the workplace, whether or not they have
taken a course in statistics. There is no other text for a first
course in social work statistics that teaches students, step-by-step,
how to use Excel to solve interesting social work statistics problems.
Excel 2016 for Social Work Statistics explains statistical formulas
and offers practical examples for how students can solve real-world
social work statistics problems. This book leaves detailed
explanations of statistical theory to other statistics textbooks and
focuses entirely on practical, real-world problem solving. Each
chapter briefly explains a topic and then demonstrates how to use
Excel commands and formulas to solve specific social work statistics
problems. This book gives practice in using Excel in two different
ways: (1) writing formulas (e.g., confidence interval about the
mean, one-group t-test, two-group t-test, correlation) and (2) using
Excel’s drop-down formula menus so as not to have to write formulas
(e.g., simple linear regression, multiple correlation and multiple
regression, and one-way ANOVA). Three practice problems are provided
at the end of each chapter, along with their solutions in an
Appendix. An additional Practice Test allows readers to test their
understanding of each chapter by attempting to solve a specific
practical social work statistics problem using Excel; the solution to
each of these problems is also given in an Appendix.
