Description:
A CONCISE GUIDE TO STATISTICAL ANALYSES USING EXCEL, SPSS, AND THE T1-84 CALCULATOR, First Edition, is precisely what its title conveys--a brief, simple-to-understand introduction to analyzing data using Excel, SPSS, and the TI-84 calculator. The book progresses from descriptive statistics and how to create various types of graphs (i.e., bar graphs, histograms, and frequency polygons) to coverage of both parametric and nonparametric inferential statistics. It also covers single sample z and t tests, two-group t tests, one- and two-way ANOVAs, Wilcoxon tests, chi-square tests, and correlation and regression analyses.
