STATISTICAL METHODS for Agricultural and Biological Sciences introduces basic statistical concepts as are required for understanding of applications of statistical techniques. There is simplicity in presentation involving no mathematical derivations. All the topics are introduced as well as explained with live examples for the reader to feel comfortable with topics like mean, variance, probability, probability distributions, hypothesis testing, correlation and regression analysis, experimental designs and analysis of factorial experiments which are useful in every scientific investigation that involve data. This is a textbook on statistical methods for post graduate students of agricultural sciences, biological sciences, physical and social sciences and other related disciplines.

• • It contains solved examples and problems for practice besides having objective type questions with answers.
