The book also connects statistical theory with research methodology and real-world case studies, helping readers understand how to select appropriate tests, formulate hypotheses, interpret statistical results, and draw conclusions from research data. Designed as a practical reference for higher education, this book supports both theoretical understanding and hands-on statistical analysis. Its broad coverage makes it suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate courses, research projects, theses, dissertations, and academic research using SPSS.
