Beschreibung

In a new textbook designed for students new to statistics and social data, Gorard focuses on non-inferential statistics as a basis to provide readers with fundamental statistical literacy. Assuming no previous statistical knowledge, the author demystifies the subject in an engaging and approachable style.
