“This is a good text on introductory statistics that uses clear language and is easy for undergraduate students to read and understand. It goes through data analysis as it relates to research design and hypothesis testing step by step, which is a unique contribution of this book.”
Middle Tennessee State University
“I really like the idea of an integrated stats/methods text that could also be used separately. The activities in the lab manual are nicely done and would provide additional practice for the students.”
