Are you confused about which statistical tests to use, when you should be using
them and why you should be using them? This book is about helping you to choose
and use the right statistical techniques to analyse your data and writeabout your
results and findings convincingly. It provides a concise and accessible guide to the
essential statistical skills needed for success in your assignment, project or
dissertation.
Berman Brown and Saunders concentrate on particular statistical tests and their
three Ws – what, why, and when. They provide you with the tools to choose the
graphs and statistics that are suitable foryour data, and to understand what the
statistical results actually mean.
