Practical Statistics for the Physical Sciences
S
tatistical proce dures can make an important con tribution to evaluating scientific research. Now you can get a better understanding of how t o use and apply these proce dures to obtain the maxi mum amount of information from your data. With this dynamic new "how-to" book, you'll learn the concepts underly ing the use of statistics through understandable, easy-to-follow steps. You'll cover the basic principles and assumptions required for using sta tistical analyses. Then you'll learn how to select and apply statistical tech niques—and t o properly interpret your results. A comprehensive reference, this book includes worked-out examples illus trating each procedure. Plus, commonly used formulas have been printed on the inside covers and a separate colored section of statistical tables has been included for easy reference. Practical Statistics for the Physical Sciences offers a useful and practical approach to working with and understanding statistical procedures. No prior knowledge of statistics is necessary, and only a basic knowledge of mathematics and algebra is required. Larry L. Havlicek, University of Kansas Ronald D.
