Statistics explained Book

For students of subjects including psychology, geography, management, economics, biology and the social sciences, this work sets out to make statistics understandable. The emphasis is on explanation, which is achieved without the use of calculus or complicated mathematics. The explanations are supported by a selection of examples written to hold interest. The scope and limitations of statistical concepts and techniques are discussed. A topic that students often have problems with - the distinction between samples and populations - is clarified.
