This is a pretty good book to provide you with the basics of statistics. Overall, I hate this class. It's my least favorite I've ever taken in college. I needed this book in order to pass it.

Statistics Quick Study Guide

This is an excellent reference and self-study guide. And for the price, it's an absolute steal. If you've been wanting a concise, yet relatively complete ebook on statistics, and one that is well-written and easy to follow, I highly suggest Statistics Quick Study Guide by MobileReference.

i am a somewhat numbers-phobic graduate student. the last math related class i took was six years ago... so i was very intimidated by my stats class this semester. it was frustrating to me that i had to spend a lot of time re-reading the long and dense chapters of my stats textbook and was still confused after doing so. in desperation, i ordered cliffs quick review of statistics and i can honestly say within 2 days of having this book i understand my stats class so much more. the night before my class i read the chapters of this book that corresponded to the chapters in my textbook. rather than blankly staring at the professor while he lectured i actually understood what he was saying and even answered a question correctly in class. this book gives me confidence that i know the material. it makes things easy to understand and doesn't take a lot of time to get through. it is perfect if you are just looking for a strong introduction to statistics. it's also very, very reasonably priced- i definitely feel like i got my money's worth.

Having taken a competitive promotional exam three years ago, I was desperate to find some statistics book I could read and remember without touching the two textbook albatrosses that added unnecessary weight to my bookshelf. This was it.

After reading this my confidence increased the "confidence level" in which I calculated that there was a good probability that I would pass the test among a large, non-random population. (People never get "random" right. I wonder why).

It is also a great little review since probability is one of the fastest things to escape my long-term memory, and I can grab this little yellow and black-striped gem for easy recollection and consumption. It states things easily and simply--just the way I like it. It is very easy to follow. (I gave away the expensive versions.)

The odds are this will be your best bet. This book is much better than the average.

A good general review. I haven't taken stats in 20 years and needed a quick brush-up for a graduate level research class. This book worked well and will be a good resource while I'm enrolled in my course.
