Extract

This first chapter introduces our unique approach to teaching statistics. We note that while we review the statistical formulas for each method, we focus on the practical component of statistical analysis. We teach the readers how to apply and interpret the statistical methods and results. We then briefly describe the book’s content, which includes a concise explanation of the statistical techniques covered in each chapter. We end the chapter with suggestions on using the book to gain maximum benefit.
