Easy to follow

Easy-to-follow instructions and interpretations for all descriptive and inferential statistics. "How to write about the outputs" is one of the most valuable parts of the book to assist researchers in thesis or any publication writings.

great for beginners

I had little experience in statistics and really needed a STEP-BY-STEP guidebook that was light on theories and "robust" on the practical stuff. I was able to go through this book in two days, having now felt rather comfortable with the SPSS program. The authors have a way of making statistics very approachable using simple words. They also have examples on how you would write up the stat results for reports and publications.
