Book Description

The ninth edition of Social Statistics for a Diverse Society continues to place an emphasis on intuition and common sense, while also highlighting the connection between the application of statistics and significant social challenges. Best-selling authors Frankfort-Nachmias, Leon-Guerrero, and Davis help students learn key statistical concepts through real research examples related to the dynamic interplay of race, class, gender, and other social variables. They do this in recognition of the fact that we live in a world that is characterized by a growing diversity and richness of social differences. Additionally, the text assists readers in the development of essential skills such as problem-solving (by means of a wide range of exercises), the utilization of statistical software (both SPSS and Excel), and the interpretation of research literature.
