This book is intended for use in the elementary statistics course
in Educa tion or in Psychology. While it is primarily designed for
use in the first semester of a two-semester course, it may also be
used in a one-semester course. There are not five or ten competing
texts; the number is much closer to fifty or a hundred. Why, then,
should we write still another one? A new statistics text for use in
Education and Psychology is, to some slight extent, comparable to a
new translation or edition of the Bible. Most of it has been said
before-but this time with a difference. The present writers realize
that elementary statistics students know very little about the
subject-even the meaning of I is all Greek to them. This text
covers the basic course in depth, with examples using real data
from the real world. It, of course, contains the usual reference
tables and several new ones; it gives the appropriate formulas
every time; and it accurately depicts all graphs. It is so
comprehensive that if instructors can't find their own special
areas of interest covered, then those interests probably don't
belong in a basic text.
