Tokunaga, San Jose State University Fundamental Statistics for the Social and Behavioral Sciences places statistics within the research process, illustrating how they are used to answer questions and test ideas. Students learn not only how to calculate statistics, but also how to interpret and communicate the results of statistical analyses in light of a study's research hypothesis. The Second Edition includes a new chapter on regression; covers how collected data can be organized, presented and summarized; the process of conducting statistical analyses to test research questions, hypotheses, and issues/ controversies; and examines statistical procedures used in research situations that vary in the number of independent variables in the study.

Concise descriptions emphasize the concepts behind statistics for students rather than the derivations of the formulas. With real-world examples from a variety of disciplines and extensive detail on the commands in Stata, this text provides an integrated approach to statistical analysis, research design, and report writing for social science students.
