5.0 out of 5 stars
Lucid presentation of statistical concepts,
By Walter Brown (San Antonio, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Statistical Applications for the Behavioral Sciences (Hardcover)
After sifting through dozens of texts, I thought I would never find one that combined the conceptual clarity of Tal's "Reading Between the Numbers" with the procedural thoroughness found in a traditional introduction to statistics. Then I came across this book. It is exceptionally well-written, and the chapter problems include questions that require thoughtful written responses. The only noticeable omission is significance testing for proportions. But having to go elsewhere if needed for fill-in material is a small price to pay for this gem of a text.

If you afraid of stats--this it the book for you!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Statistical Applications for the Behavioral Sciences (Hardcover)
This is a great book for those who are starting out in statistics. The author is able to explain quite difficult statistical concepts in a way the reader will be able to understand.

Statistics Textbook,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Statistical Applications for the Behavioral Sciences (Hardcover)
I bought this text for a Statistics class in a graduate program in Counseling. I was very nervous because I'm not at all figures and formulae oriented. I expected the worse but the book turned out to be very easy to follow and a great resource which allowed me to successfully complete the class. I intend to keep it as a reference as I continue in the program.
