Praise for the previous edition of Explaining Psychological Statistics

“I teach a master’s level, one-semester statistics course, and it is a challenge to find a textbook that is at the right level. Barry Cohen’s book is the best one I have found.… I like the fact that the chapters have different sections that allow the professor to decide how much depth of coverage to include in his/her course.… This is a strong and improved edition of an already good book.”
― Karen Caplovitz Barrett, PhD, Professor, and Assistant Department Head of Human Development and Family Studies, Colorado State University

“The quality is uniformly good. . . . This is not the first statistics text I have read but it is one of the best.”
― Michael Dosch, PhD, MS, CRNA, Associate Professor and Chair, Nurse Anesthesia, University of Detroit Mercy
