Statistics Alive! Summary

Statistics Alive! by Wendy J. Steinberg

Based on years of first-hand teaching experience, Wendy J. Steinberg has created Statistics Alive!, the most user-friendly statistics text for students in the social and behavioral sciences, now in its Second Edition. This textbook includes topics such as frequency distributions, hypothesis formation, and inferential statistics and bivariate regression. Effect size and power, often shortchanged in other textbooks, each get substantive treatment. Students are well prepared for a next course in statistics.

Key Features

  • Modular treatment allows students to master prescribed chunks of information.
  • Strong pedagogy throughout includes learning objectives, key terms, and Check Yourself! questions.

New to the Second Edition

  • Twice as many chapter exercises.
  • Final module on multiple regression and the General Linear Model.
  • SPSS point-and-click instructions and screen shots of the output for all in-text examples.
  • Descriptive dispersion solutions shown using both N and n-1 denominators, to accommodate any instructor's preference.
  • A more comprehensive Student Study Guide and Instructor Resource Guide.

About Wendy J. Steinberg

Wendy J. Steinberg entered academia midcareer, having spent the first part of her career in high-stakes test development. She holds a PhD in educational psychology with dual concentrations, one in measurement and the other in development and cognition. Teaching is her passion. She views education as a sacred task that teachers and students alike should treat with reverence. She wants this textbook in the hands of every statistics student so that tears will be banished forever from the classroom. A portion of the sale of each textbook goes to charity
