Statistics : the life of the party -- The Basics --

With an emphasis on critical thinking, this book presents fun and unique examples, guides readers through the entire data collection and analysis process, and introduces basic statistical concepts along the way. Leaving proofs and complicated mathematics behind, the author portrays the more engaging side of statistics and emphasizes its role as a problem-solving tool. In addition, light-hearted case studes illustrate the application of statistics to real data analyses, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of commonly used techniques. Written for the growing academic and industrial population that uses statistics in everday life, this book highlights important issues that often arise when collecting and sifting through data. Featured concepts include: descriptive statistics, probability and sample distribution, hypothesis tests, statistical correlation, statistical analysis with graphs, analysis of vairance, confidence intervals, regression, and data collection. Fun and inviting from beginning to end, this book is an ideal book for students as well as managers and researchers in industry, medicine, or government who face statistical questions and are in need of an intuitive understanding of basic statistical reasoning.--Back cover.
