Summary:

Using and Interpreting Statistics is a uniquely engaging and easy-to-understand introductory statistics text for the health, behavioral, and social sciences, as well as general statistics courses. Written by an award-winning master teacher, this full-color text - the only full-color statistics text on the market - covers all the essential topics needed for a first course in statistics. It uses a variety of memorable examples not only from the health, behavioral, and social sciences, but also from everyday life to help drive home important topics and help students apply the material to their course of study. In addition, a unique collection of research-based learning aids promotes in-depth learning. Features include Chapter Roadmaps, Group Practice Exercises, Review Exercises and Homework Problems, and a unique "Tom and Harry" mnemonic that helps students "routinize" statistical decision-making.

  • UNIQUE! The book's engaging writing style and unique "personality" make the study of statistics not only understandable but enjoyable.
  • UNIQUE! Printed in full color, with approximately 120 illustrations.
  • UNIQUE! Examples from nursing, health sciences, behavioral sciences, social sciences, and everyday life help students in a variety of programs understand and apply key concepts.
  • UNIQUE! Group Practice Exercises are included throughout the chapters, and Review Exercises and Homework Problems appear at the end of each chapter.
  • Answers to Review Exercises are included at the end of the text, and answers to Homework Problems and Group Practice Exercises are provided for faculty.
  • UNIQUE! Incorporates research-based learning principles to promote deeper processing of material and long-term learning.
  • UNIQUE! Engaging Looking Closer footnotes provide additional information of interest and offer a welcome diversion during study sessions.

Understanding and Interpreting Statistics
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

This is a great book that explains statistics in such a way that anyone can understand the use of statistical tests and their relevance to research. Dr. Corty uses plain language, humor and examples that students can understand. It changed my attitude towards statistics and is a good book to refer to when you want to refresh your understanding of statistical tests and their application.

Not appropriate for my statistics classes
Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2

I teach a college course in basic statistics at least once a year, so I am always on the lookout for a better statistics book. That is therefore the context within which I examined this book. After looking it over, I would not consider adopting it. The reasons for my decision are:

*) The coverage is not what I feel is appropriate for a basic statistics class. In particular, there is no chapter devoted to probability, there is no mention of Bernoulli trials, and there is no testing of proportions.
*) There are very few worked examples in the text. My students need this, in fact they regularly ask for more. It has been documented to death that people learn mathematics by seeing it done and then doing it.

As a secondary point, there are a large number of footnotes; a cursory examination indicates that they appear on the majority of the pages. My experience with students is that they never read the footnotes.
The author tries to be amusing and he must be given credit for occasionally succeeding. However, people don't read statistics books to be amused, they read them to learn statistics and my students could not do that from this book.

This is the stats book that taught me the most about stats.
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I would have to say that Dr. Corty has an excellent way with teaching statistics. I have the 2005 edition but I still reference it whenever I even have to think about statistics. (Brandy)
