For courses in Statistical Methods for the Social Sciences.

Statistical Methods for the Social Sciences introduces statistical methods to students majoring in social science disciplines. Emphasizing concepts and applications, it assumes no previous knowledge of statistics and only a minimal mathematical background. It contains sufficient material for a 2-semester course.

The 5th Edition uses examples and exercises with a variety of real data. It includes more illustrations of statistical software for computations and takes advantage of the outstanding applets to explain key concepts, such as sampling distributions and conducting basic data analyses. It continues to downplay mathematics (often a stumbling block for students) while avoiding an overly simplistic, recipe-based approach to statistics.
