Modern statistical software provides the ability to compute statistics in a timely, orderly fashion. This introductory statistics textbook presents clear explanations of basic statistical concepts and introduces students to the IBM SPSS program to demonstrate how to conduct statistical analyses via the popular point-and-click and the \""syntax file\"" methods. The focal point is to show students how easy it is to analyse data using SPSS once they have learned the basics.\n\n--Provides clear explanation of basic statistical concepts that provides the foundation for the beginner students\u2019 statistical journey. \n--Introduces the SPSS software program. \n--Gives clear explanation of the purpose of specific statistical procedures (e.g., frequency distributions, measures of central tendencies, measures of variability, etc.). \n--Avoids the conventional cookbook approach that contributes very little to students\u2019 understanding of the rationale of how the correct results were obtained.
