Rating:
Summary: A pratical, hands-on approach to teaching statistics.
Review: This book provides an excellent step-by-step approach to learning how to use SPSS to conduct statistical analyses. The book begins with a description of the Basics of SPSS: opening the program, opening files, printing, saving, etc. The authors then cover, through examples, the running of descriptive stastics, graphing, and inferential statistics, including t tests, one-way ANOVA, correlation, regression, and Chi-square. The book is filled with illustrations which the authors have designed utilizing the data sets that come with the SPSS package. The authors not only cover the procedures for running the statistical tests in SPSS, but they also discuss the research questions that may be addressed with each statistic, i.e. the "When?" and "Why?" questions
