Social Statistics for a Diverse Society Tenth Edition

Social Statistics for a Diverse Society introduces students to social statistics and their importance in the workplace, in the media, and in being able to conduct or interpret research. This bestselling book integrates statistical techniques with a wide range of social issues related to the dynamic interplay of race, class, gender, and other social variables: students become proficient in statistical techniques while learning about social differences and inequality through substantive examples and real-world data.

The Tenth Edition includes fresh topical examples and exercises, as well as new General Social Survey datasets with step-by-step SPSS and Excel video demonstrations. Read more
