The Ninth Edition of Social Statistics for a Diverse Society continues to emphasize intuition and common sense while demonstrating the link between the practice of statistics and important social issues. Recognizing that we live in a world characterized by a growing diversity and richness of social differences best-selling authors Frankfort-Nachmias Leon-Guerrero and Davis help you learn key statistical concepts through real research examples related to the dynamic interplay of race class gender and other social variables. The text also helps you develop important skills such as problem-solving (through a rich variety of exercises) use of statistical software (both SPSS and Excel) and interpreting research literature.
