3.0 out of 5 stars Good examples pertaining to public administration., May 13, 1999
By A Customer
This text provides good examples of statistical problems pertaining to public administration. However, the text does not do a good job in explaining how to use certain statistical tools to solve problems(e.g. chi-square). In addition, some of the statistical tables are confusing for students.
