This best-selling text in the field provides a broad, fluent introduction to statistics for students in the social sciences — especially those with a limited background in mathematics. Focusing on the “hows” and “whys” of statistics, Levin and Fox integrate theory and practice with detailed step-by-step illustrations of statistical procedures. Clear explanations of statistical concepts are also provided. A review of basic mathematics, statistical tables, a list of formulas, and a glossary of terms are located in the appendixes at the end of the book.
