520 1 $a"Applied Statistics for Public Policy provides students of political science and public policy with the statistical tools necessary to analyze data and show how statistics can be used to make informed, intelligent policy decisions. The authors' practical, hands-on approach helps students learn the meaning of statistical measures and how to focus on interpreting results, as opposed to spending time memorizing and applying dozens of statistical formulae." "The book contains more than five hundred end-of-chapter problems, solvable using the Excel spreadsheet application developed by the authors to facilitate students' processing of data. The authors' Excel template (titled POLYSTAT) allows students to enter numbers in the appropriate sheet and then analyze the data. No prior experience or expertise with Excel is required. Each copy of Applied Statistics for Public Policy includes a CD with the POLYSTAT template and ninety-four sample data sets." "This comprehensive, hands-on textbook requires only a background in high school algebra and has been thoroughly class-tested in both undergraduate and graduate courses."--BOOK JACKET.
