Full Description
Unlike most authors who begin with the procedures used with interval/ratio data, Reid begins his discussion of inferential statistics with a two-chapter examination of the Chi Square test, thus introducing students to hypothesis testing, effect size, and post hoc tests. When more complex procedures related to interval/ratio data are covered, students already have a solid understanding of the foundational concepts involved.
