Overview

For courses in Political and Social Statistics

Using the popular SPSS software to de-mystify statistics

Using SPSS for Windows and Macintosh guides students through basic SPSS techniques, using step-by-step descriptions and explaining in detail how to avoid common pitfalls in the study of statistics. Authors Samuel Green and Neil Salkind provide extensive substantive information about each statistical technique, including a brief discussion of the technique, examples of how the statistic is applied, a sample data set that can be analyzed with the statistic, a discussion of the analysis results, practice exercises, and more. The Eighth Edition has been updated for SPSS version 23 (Windows/Mac), and now offers added accessibility and increased problem solving.

NOTE: This ISBN is for a Pearson Books a la Carte edition: a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf text. In addition to the flexibility offered by this format, Books a la Carte editions offer students great value, as they cost significantly less than a bound textbook.
