Statistics Essentials For
Dummies not only provides students enrolled in Statistics I with an
excellent high-level overview of key concepts, but it also serves as a
reference or refresher for students in upper-level statistics courses.
Free of review and ramp-up material, Statistics Essentials For
Dummies sticks to the point, with content focused on key course
topics only. It provides discrete explanations of essential concepts
taught in a typical first semester college-level statistics course,
from odds and error margins to confidence intervals and conclusions.
This guide is also a perfect reference for parents who need to review
critical statistics concepts as they help high school students with
homework assignments, as well as for adult learners headed back into
the classroom who just need a refresher of the core concepts.
