Statistics alive! /Wendy Steinberg.

List of figures -- List of tables -- Preface -- Supplemental material for use with Statistics Alive! -- Acknowledgments -- Preliminary information : "First things first" -- Math review, vocabulary, and symbols -- Measurement scales -- Tables and graphs : "On display" -- Frequency and percentile tables -- Graphs and plots -- Central tendency : "Bull's-eye" -- Mode, median, and mean -- Dispersion : "From here to eternity" -- Range, variance, and standard deviation -- The normal curve and standard scores : "What's the score?" -- Percent area and the normal curve -- z scores -- Score transformations and their effects.

Probability : "Odds are" -- probability definitions and theorems -- The bionomial distribution -- Inferential theory : "Of truth and relativity" -- Sampling, variables, and hypotheses -- Errors and significance -- The z score as a hypothesis test -- The one-sample test : "Are they from our part of town?" -- Standard error of the mean -- Normal deviate Z test -- One-sample t test -- Interpreting and reporting one-sample t : error, confidence, and parameter estimates -- The two-sample test : "Ours is better than yours" -- Standard error of the difference between the means -- r test with independent samples and equal sample sizes -- r test with unequal sample sizes -- t test with related samples -- Interpreting and reporting two-sample t : error, confidence, and parameter estimates.

The multisample test : "Ours is better than yours or theirs" -- ANOVA logic : sums of squares, partitioning, and mean squares -- One-way ANOVA : independent samples and equal sample sizes -- Post hoc tests : "So who's responsible?" -- Tukey HSD test -- Scheffe test -- More than one independent variable : "Double Dutch jump rope" -- Main effects and interaction effects -- Factorial ANOVA -- Nonparametric statistics : "Without form or void" -- One-variable chi-square : goodness of fit -- Two-variable chi-square : test of independence -- Effect size and power : "How much is enough?" -- Measures of effect size -- Power and the factors affecting it -- Correlation : "Whither thou goest, I will go" -- Relationship strength and direction -- Pearson r -- Correlation pitfalls -- Linear prediction : "You're so predictable" -- Linear prediction -- Standard error of prediction -- Review : "Say it again, Sam" -- Selecting the appropriate analysis.

Appendix A : Normal curve table -- Appendix B : Binomial table -- Appendix C : t table -- Appendix D : F table (ANOVA) -- Appendix E : Studentized range statistic (for Tukey HSD) -- Appendix F : Chi-square table -- Appendix G : Correlation table -- References -- Index -- About the author.

Statistics need not be dull and dry. This text shows students the underlying logic to what they're learning, and well-crafted practice and self-check features help ensure that new knowledge sticks.
