About this product
Product Information
The Fifth Edition of Statistics for the Life Sciences uses authentic examples and exercises from a wide variety of life science domains to give statistical concepts personal relevance, enabling students to connect concepts with situations they will encounter outside the classroom. The emphasis on understanding ideas rather than memorizing formulas makes the text ideal for students studying a variety of scientific fields: animal science, agronomy, biology, forestry, health, medicine, nutrition, pharmacy, physical education, zoology and more. In the fifth edition, randomization tests have been moved to the fore to motivate the inference procedures introduced in the text. There are no prerequisites for the text except elementary algebra. KEY TOPICS: Description of Samples and Populations; Probability and the Binomial Distribution; The Normal Distribution; Sampling Distributions; Confidence Intervals; Comparison of Two Independent Samples; Comparison of Paired Samples; Categorical Data: One-Sample Distributions; Categorical Data: Relationships; Comparing the Means of Many Independent Samples; Linear Regression and Correlation; A Summary of Inference Methods KEY MARKET For readers interested in statistics as it pertains to life science.
