All you need to teach basic statistics
| Customer Rating:  | To effectively teach basic statistics, you need a textbook that is brief but thorough in explanation, detailed and incrementally repetitive with worked examples and has a large number of exercises for further practice. This book has all three and the solutions to the odd numbered exercises are included in an appendix.
The leading explanations are good, a small amount of new material followed by one or more examples worked out in detail. I found the examples to be sensible in most cases; students will find themselves able to relate their experiences to the statistical concept that is being demonstrated. Worked examples using several statistical software packages are also used to illustrate the results, which is good, even if a computer package is not used in the teaching of the course.
The coverage and order of coverage is fairly standard for introductory statistics courses. Part 1 starts the process, covering the basic descriptive statistics of measuring the center, dispersion of the data, regression and correlation. In part 2, students are introduced to probability distributions, and in part 3 statistical inferences are examined. Categorical data and nonparametric data are the topics of chapters 11 and 12 respectively.
This book is a sound one for use as a textbook in basic statistics classes. All of the bases are covered, both literally and figuratively. It is literal in the sense that all of the proper topics are covered and figurative because many of the examples and problems have a baseball theme. |

Excellent Introduction to Statistics
| Customer Rating: | | This is an excellent first course in statistics for people who want to understand how to perform and interpret statistics. Contains no calculus or higher math. The first half of the book covers the prerequisite probability theory (including the binomial and geometric distributions), and the second half covers statistics proper, with the empahasis placed on the normal and Student's distributions. The Chi-Square distribution is also covered. Linear regression, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing are given very heavy emphasis. The concentration is on practical problems and their solutions rather than with an abstract mathematical development of the theory. Highly recommended for people who have no prior knowledge of the subject. |
