Summary:
In the numbers explosion all around us in our modern-day dealings, the buzzword is data, as in, “Do you have any data to support your claim?” “The data supported the original hypothesis that . . .” and “The data bear this out. . . .” But the field of statistics is not just about data. Statistics is the entire process involved in gathering evidence to answer questions about the world, in cases where that evidence happens to be numerical data.

Statistics For Dummies is for everyone who wants to sort through and evaluate the incredible amount of statistical information that comes to them on a daily basis.

    Elementary Statistics for Dummies
    Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4
    This is a good overview of basic statistics. Amazon and the sender were both very helpful, and I received it quickly.

    its OK, not a good second sourse for a stat class
    Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3
    I was a little disappointed in this book. I usually find the dummies books very helpful in bridging the gap, when I am having trouble understanding a subject. I am currently taking an elementary stat class and bought this to compliment my text. It was not very helpful. Does not explain any of the more complex concepts. This is more for people who want to understand the odds in Vegas.

    Excellent for reviewers and newbies
    Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
    I did not find any use for my college statistics when I started working (at least for my function), but just recently, I had to relearn, what I've forgotten to keep pace with the demands of my job. This book is heavenly! Whether you're someone looking for a refresher course without having to pay huge sums to pick-up on stuff you know you've already learned or someone who wants the basics of statistics, this is the book for you.

    Statistic for Dummies

    Not very helpful for my beginning Stats (221) class I did not use it

    Excellent, worth every dime
    Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
    Excellent book. In my opinion the author does a great job in taking a complex subject matter and breaking it down so that it could be understood. Well worth the expenditure and will recommend this book to my students.
