Each chapter is structured to answer questions that students most want answered: What statistical test should I use for this situation? How do I set up the data? How do I run the test? How do I interpret and document the results?

Using examples, screenshots, and intuitive illustrations, students get the story from their data and learn by doing, completing practice exercises at the end of each chapter using prepared downloadable datasets.
