The?fifth edition of Statistics for the Behavioral and Social Sciences builds off an already well-established?approach - emphasizing the intuitive, deemphasizing the mathematical, and explaining everything in direct, simple language - but also goes beyond these principles to further student understanding. By using?definitional formulas to emphasize the concepts of?statistics, rather than rote memorization, students work problems in a way that keeps them constantly aware of the underlying logic of?what they are doing.?
