“The key strength of this book is the straightforward approach. I love the to-the-point question-and-answer format. . . . This book would be useful in both statistics and research methods courses . . . [and] in math tutoring labs. I love the tone the author uses, as it is not condescending. Students will be encouraged.”

—Jamie Brown, Mercer University      

 

“The sequencing of the questions works very well—from the most basic to the more intimidating questions often asked by students in an intro class. . . . If Dr. Salkind is the author, I know it will be well-written, and both entertaining and easy to understand.”

—Linda Martinez, California State University, Long Beach

 

“Practical examples from all types of work: showing the steps to do each analysis and then the ways to use the results responsibly.”
