The American President: Revolution and the New Nation/Expansion and Reform

Written to calm students' fears about statistics, this text presents clear, brief explanations of several statistical concepts and techniques. Each self-contained chapter has three sections. The first describes the statistic. The second reviews how it works and how to calculate it and analyzes the technique. The third provides examples that use and interpret the statistic. New features in this second edition are an interactive CD; new chapters on basic research concepts and nonparametric statistics; additional graphs; and a discussion of confidence intervals.
