Book excerpt: Abstract: An applied statistics text is offered for college students, teachers, research scientists, and those engaged in agriculture and the food industries. The sequence of topic presentation proceeds from data organization and tabulation, through graphing (to obtain the data distribution pattern), to analysis of the pattern (to determine location and dispersion parameters); interpretation of the results and report-writing are the final phases. A comprehensive range of direct statistical tests is covered, along with numerous examples and problems. Mathematical complexities and formula derivations are avoided; a knowledge of high school mathematics is sufficient to underastand and apply the statistical methods covered. (wz).
