This is the first book to show the capabilities of microsoft excel to teach social science statistics effectively. It is a step-by-step exercise. Excel 2007 for social science statistics : a guide to solving practical problems is the first book to capitalize on these improvements by teaching students and managers how to apply Excel to statistical techniques necessary in their courses and work. Each chapter explains statistical formulas and directs the reader to use excel commands to solve specific, easy-to-understand problems. Practice problems are provided at the end of each chapter with their solutions in an appendix. Separately, there is a full practice test (with answers in an appendix) that allows readers to test what they have learned.
