Thus, throughout the text, we interweave aspects of experimentaldesignwiththestatisticaltopicstowhichtheyarecloselyrelated.Wetrytobeespe- ciallyclearonthosepointsininferentialstatisticsthattendtobestumblingblocks.Atthesame time,wegivefulltreatmentinthefirsthalfofthetexttodescriptivestatisticsinthebeliefthat onceinferenceisdone,onemustreturntothedescriptivemeasurestoassessthemeaningofthe inquiry;bothconceptsmustbefullyunderstood.

Beginning with Chapter 14, measures of effect size (both d family and r family measures) are (cid:2) integratedwiththematerialonhypothesistesting. (cid:2) The text should serve very well for a one-semester course. Even so, there is more material thancanbecoveredinmostone-quarterorone-semestercourses.TheInstructor’sManualoffers suggestionsforadaptingthebooktoparticularneeds. Features New to the Seventh Edition Inmanyintroductorycourses,instructorsrequirethatstudentslearnhowtousecomputerstowork statisticalproblems.Thus,startingwiththesixtheditionandcontinuingwiththeseventhedition, we have added instructions for the use of the statistical software package SPSS. Step-by-step instructions are provided as well as numerous screen shots so that students may easily use the software.Wehavealsomadeanattempttoupdatesomeoftheexampleandend-of-chapterprob- lems in the textbook. In addition, we have also added various photos to the textbook to further engage students and enhance learning. A main organizational change was splitting Chapter 12 from the sixth edition into two chapters for the seventh edition.

Finally, many students who enroll in introductory statistics do so with great anxiety.
