Description

Written as ‘a tutorial in print’, it is broken into eight sections:

  1. Statistical inquiry
  2. Describing our sample
  3. Summarising our data
  4. The shape of a distribution
  5. From sample to population
  6. Comparing samples
  7. Further maters of significance
  8. Analysing relationships

Rowntree helpfully begins with a small introduction detailing why this book is different, and he also suggests how you use it. This is a book that is exactly what it says it is, a great introduction to this fascinating subject for non-mathematicians. A great communicator, Derek Rowntree was one of the founding members of the Open University and spent much of his working life in higher education.
