The second edition of "Applied Statistics" updates the original edition after many years of use by undergraduate and graduate students of various disciplines. The focus of its applications continues to emphasize the methodological issues of empirical research analysis. In addition to technical improvements, the new edition updates the topics of the original edition and enriches its content with an additional chapter on methods of analyzing censored data. While generally maintaining the structure of the first edition, it serves as an introductory text for students and researchers without specific knowledge in Statistics. The required mathematics for understanding the topics covered are those of elementary algebra, which a high school graduate would have acquired. The solution of examples in the chapters on inductive statistics is done, as in the original edition, using SPSS. The descriptive measures and inductive tests used by SPSS are fully explained and analyzed in the theoretical part of the book, providing the user of these methods with theoretical and technical documentation for their application. Additionally, the solution is accompanied by a detailed commentary on the software's results.
