Product Review

Known for its brevity and student-friendly approach, this new third edition of Essential Statistics provides students with a strong conceptual foundation, but continues to stress application. Class-tested learning objectives, key term lists, and numerous tables, figures, and charts further enhance skill acquisition.

Fully updated, this edition touts: two new chapters on applications in performance management and analysis and ANOVA; new coverage of essential nonparametric alternatives to conventional inferential statistics; and additional material on performance management, going beyond an emphasis on performance measurement.
