"Fundamentals of Statistical Reasoning in Education, 4th Edition is a text specifically geared towards the education community. This text gives educators the statistical knowledge and skills necessary in everyday classroom teaching, in running schools, and in professional development pursuits. It emphasises conceptual development with an engaging style and clear exposition"-- The one-semester textbook is designed for students of education, say Coladarci and Cobb, but students of other behavioral sciences could also use it to learn statistics. The only mathematics required are basic arithmetic and an elementary understanding of simple equations, which are reviewed in an appendix. They continue to reject the idea of integrating computer applications into an introductory course. Covering in turn descriptive and inferential statistics, they consider such topics as graphic representation, normal distributions and standard scores, probability and probability distributions, comparing the means of dependent samples, and making inferences from frequency data.
