Statistics: A Tool for Social Research and Data Analysis

by Joseph F. Healey, Christopher Donoghue

Healey's A TOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH AND DATA ANALYSIS, 11e, equips you with a solid understanding of statistical fundamentals and their practical application to current social issues -- no advanced math knowledge required. The text breaks down even the most complex material to help you master key concepts and develop the skills you need to succeed as a professional in a social science field -- or simply to become a ""statistically literate"" consumer of social research. Everyday examples illustrate that statistics are not just abstract mathematical constructs, but they have practical value in government, education, business, media, politics, sports and more. Research examples in every chapter use the same ""real data"" that professionals use to make evidence-based decisions in social policy research, market research, social work, education and other fields.Important Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
