Roping the reader in with humor and real-world case examples presented
as mysteries to be solved, this engaging text has been updated with
new cases, the latest version of SPSS, and new coverage of
multivariate analysis of variance. Steven R. Terrell prepares students
and practitioners to become informed consumers of statistics so that
they can make decisions based on data, and understand decisions others
have made. He identifies six simple steps and guides readers to master
them--from identifying a researchable problem to stating a hypothesis;
identifying independent and dependent variables; and selecting,
computing, and interpreting appropriate statistical tests. All
techniques are demonstrated both manually and with the help of SPSS
software. New to This Edition *All software instructions and
examples are updated to SPSS Version 25. *Expanded chapter on the
