Designed for the second course in statistics, it is one of the few texts that focuses just on intermediate statistics. The book highlights how statistics work and what they mean to better prepare students to analyze their own data and interpret SPSS and research results. As such it offers more coverage of non-parametric procedures used when standard assumptions are violated since these methods are more frequently encountered when working with real data. Determining appropriate sample sizes is emphasized throughout. Only crucial equations are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new edition features:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew co-author, Debbie L.
