Opening chapters address basic terminology, resolving formulas, rounding figures, research designs and variables, scales of measurement, and frequency tables and graphs. In later chapters, students learn about central tendency, bivariate correlation and scatterplots, basic probability, hypothesis testing, and z and t tests. More advanced chapters cover confidence intervals, ANOVA, simple regression, Chi-Square, choosing the appropriate test, and SPSS and R programming.Designed to help students at all levels develop statistical skills and a sound knowledge base, Black Belt Statistics is an ideal supplementary workbook for courses in social science statistics and statistical methods at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
