Focusing on the design and analysis of experiments and surveys in biology, this text contains practical, nontechnical advice on carrying out successful projects and producing clear, informative reports. This edition offers more detailed explanation of elementary probability, greater emphasis on experimental design and data simulation, and a templat

Even though an understanding of experimental design and statistics is central to modern biology, undergraduate and graduate students studying biological subjects often lack confidence in their numerical abilities. Allaying the anxieties of students, Introduction to Statistics for Biology, Third Edition provides a painless introduction to the subject while demonstrating the importance of statistics in contemporary biological studies.

New to the Third Edition

More detailed explanation of the ideas of elementary probability to simplify the rationale behind hypothesis testing, before moving on to simple tests
