Summary: The text is written for those students of sociology both advanced undergraduates and graduate students who actually intend to engage in social research. With the advanced knowledge in applied statistics,the text has been written to avoid mathematical derivations in so far as possible and only a quick review of certain algebraic principles listed in appendix1 should be sufficient preparation for the average student. There is relatively heavy emphasis on the underlying logic of statistical inference including a chapter on probability with relatively less attention being given to some of the more or less routine topics ordinarily discussed in elementary texts.
