This is one of the most user-friendly statistics books I have ever purchased. The information and concepts are easy to understand with multiple examples. The specific subject in each chapter is highlighted for easy locating. There are additional tables in the back that can be used to solve problems. I highly recommend this book.

Finally, a book of statistics that I can read AND understand. Highly recommended.

Many of us are afraid of statistics as a field that is obscure; with a jargon that not only we cannot understand but it is seemingly boring and good only for sleepless nights.

I was very surprised with this book; Polit not only made statistics understandable, but she uses plenty of examples to drive home the point. Even if your course does not require this specific book, get it anyway: it will make a world of difference.

A clear, user-friendly nursing statistics book
by CharmCity3 (4 out of 5 stars)
January 11, 2014

This was a required textbook for a graduate level nursing statistics course. The text's chapters are organized and provide a comprehensive overview of the different statistical tests. All provided examples are pulled directly from nursing research and are understandable. I found the end of chapter exercises to be helpful but unfortunately, explanations or rational to the answers were not provided in the explanation. While this textbook contributed to my understanding of course content I didn't find it to be a particularly good "reference book" and I don't imagine I'll refer to it again now that the course is over.

I needed two additional textbooks to help me understand the concepts in this book. Advanced and Multivariate Statistics by Mertler was much easier to understand.

The online materials ( including answers) needed to do the exercises are no longer available. This despite the fact that, at least at this moment, Pearson says they are ( which they apologized for) but your screwed if you need the data sets.
