Almost all the statistics in the news, on social media or in scientific reports are based on just a few core concepts, including measurement (ensuring we count the right thing), causation (determining whether one thing causes another) and sampling (using just a few people to understand a whole population). By explaining these concepts in plain language, without complex mathematics, this book prepares students to meet the statistical world head on and to begin their own quantitative research projects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIdeal for students facing statistical research for the first time, or for anyone interested in understanding more about the numbers in the news, this textbook helps students to see beyond the headlines and behind the numbers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccompanying online resources for this title can be found at bloomsburyonlineresources.com\/critical-statistics.
