and easy to understand
Reviewed in the United States on 07-03-2014
This book is clearly written, and easy to understand. I feel like the description on the product page is more detailed than it was when I bought it, otherwise, I would have saved myself the lunch money. If you're looking for a book that really is an introduction to statistics-- and I mean definitions and simple explanations of the basic terms you will be using, this book is for you. If you need that introduction to give you the information without being technical gibberish with a million not immediately related terms in between, this book is for you. If you're looking for a guide to SPSS, this book is (maybe?) for you. If you are trying to get a simple explanation for how to do all those calculations by hand; are in a class that in no way ever, uses any computer program to do these calculations; or are trying to pass the hell that can be PSYC07/8, keep searching friends--This book, will not be your saviour..

The book is ok,
Reviewed in the United States on 06-30-2019
The book is OK information. I have had to use other sources as well. Their website, is a mess, and I could not find the 'cheat sheet' that the book alludes to. It would be nice to have some of the statistic, research formulas to refer to while doing my class. Luckily I found them elsewhere..
