Using Statistics in A Level Geography
A forty page book designed to show A Level Geography students how they can use statistics in geographical research, and especially in their NEA (Independent Investigation). The guide contains information on how students might choose a particular statistical test and then goes into detail about twelve of the most commonly used tests.
For each statistical test there is a section which:
- describes how the statistical test works
- gives a range of examples of research angles that might use that statistical test
- provides a step-by step guide, showing students how to carry out that particular statistical test through a worked example
Where necessary, significance tables or critical value tables are also included.
