Lab Manual for Statistical Analysis



September 2017 | 128 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc

Packed with exercises, checklists, and how-to sections, this robust lab manual gives students hands-on guidance and practice for analyzing their own psychological research. The lab manual’s four sections include activities that correspond directly with the chapters of Dawn M. McBride’s The Process of Statistical Analysis in Psychology; activities related to data analysis projects (including data sets) that students can manipulate and analyze; activities designed to help students choose the correct test for different types of data; and exercises designed to help students write up results from analyses in APA style.

INSTRUCTORS: Bundle the Lab Manual for Statistical Analysis with The Process of Statistical Analysis in Psychology for only $5 more! Bundle ISBN: 978-1-5443-0974-3
