Packed with examples and questions, and building on each previous concept to introduce the next, this book is an excellent introduction to basic statistics. The provided CD contains a digital copy of the book (viewable through a proprietary viewing software only), and copies of the answers from the book in PDF format.
This book covers the following areas:
Measures of Location (Mean, median, mode)
Measures of Dispersion (variance, standard deviation, quartiles and percentiles)
Coding
Various graph representations of data (box plot, stem and leaf, histogram(
Probability
Correlation
Linear regression
Discrete random variables
Normal distribution
The only downside I felt is that occasionally it would have been nice to see some more of the working out in the answers rather than just the final answer, in order to help understand when I got the occasional question wrong! Nevertheless I already have the next book in the series -
Edexcel AS and A Level Modular Mathematics - Statistics 2 - on my shelf ready for me to work through!
