The text highlights the practical application of statistical methods in various aspects of contemporary social issues, from government and education to business, media, politics, and sports.

The book is designed to be accessible to readers with little or no mathematical background, making it ideal for math-averse beginners, while also providing more advanced students with the tools they need for deeper analysis.
This edition is fully integrated with IBM’s SPSS software, providing a hands-on approach to statistical analysis. It helps students develop statistical literacy and proficiency in computational research without becoming overwhelmed by complex mathematical concepts.
