The focus on hypothesis testing, along with guidance on using jamovi, a free open-source statistical software program, is especially useful for students interested in conducting research projects.' Deborah Koetzle, John Jay College of Criminal Justice
'This new textbook presents statistical concepts in clear, accessible language and incorporates real-world examples to foster an interactive and collaborative classroom environment. Rather than focusing on rote memorization of formulas, it emphasizes understanding the meaning and uses of statistics. The book also offers straightforward, step-by-step instructions for conducting statistical tests using jamovi, enabling students to practically apply what they've learned.' Diane Mello-Goldner, Boston University
'An arsenal of statistical tools adds focused certainty to probability estimates, which guides scientific discovery, testability of scientific hunches, and falsifiability checks to spurious truisms. Heredia and Hartley's Social Behavioral Statistics is a clear and practical guide to mastering statistics. They show that the intuitive scientist errs with an error of uncertainty that the statistical scientist does not.' Luis Vega, California State University
