Emphasizing real data, current events and popular statistical software, Healey/Donoghue's "Statistics: A Tool for Social Research and Data Analysis," 12th Edition introduces fundamental concepts of statistics and their practical application to social issues. Examples from daily life illustrate the value of statistics in education, business, health, media, politics and sports. New features provide guidance on using Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets for data analysis, new SPSS datasets on AI and social media usage, end-of-chapter problems in social sciences and concepts and techniques in key areas. The student-friendly approach offers chapter introductions on current affairs, breaking down complex material with no advanced mathematical knowledge required. Students gain professional skills in a social science field and as statistically literate consumers of social research.
