Chris Spatz's best-selling statistics text relies on examples from the social and behavioralsciences, education, nursing/allied health, and business fields -- as well as examples fromeveryday life -- to teach students statistical reasoning and problem solving. Praised for hisclear explanations, Spatz shows students how to start with a data set, identify the questionsit poses, determine and carry out statistical procedures, and using plain English, tell thestory the data reveal. A free CD packaged with the book provides objective questions andanswers, additional problems and answers, and portals to websites with additional help. "This writer looks into the underlying ideas behind many concepts in statistics and seeks to present these ideas and concepts in a way that is inviting to students. This updated Eight Edition of Spatzas best-selling text, Basic Statistics, once again presents statistics in a way students will find fascinating, relevant, and above all, accessible. Professors and readers alike will find Spatzas text not only interesting and easy to read, but exceptionally easy to learn from. Built into every chapter are a number of features that help students grasp major concepts and develop an understanding of statistical computations."

"This book has an attractive layout, and it has a useful companion website containing errata, data sets and problem applications. The new edition is primarily for undergraduates, and it is intended to provide an introduction to statistical concepts and methodology as well as an overview of application and methods. The author met these objectives quite well, and provided a good "broad brush" introduction to statistical practice. The emphasis, however is not on mathematical rigor but on the application of techniques."
