Description
Written as ‘a tutorial in print’, it is broken into eight sections:
- Statistical inquiry
- Describing our sample
- Summarising our data
- The shape of a distribution
- From sample to population
- Comparing samples
- Further maters of significance
- 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.
