"...it would certainly help many students, particularly those on service courses, to grasp the concepts and see the wider picture."


Book Description
In college, 236,000 students take a statistics class every year, typically because it's a required course for their business or science degree. Out in the work world, four million people use statistics on the job, from actuaries and financial analysts to computer programmers and social workers. But as any of these folks will attest, getting up to speed on statistics has never been fun or easy. With Statistics For Dummies, that's about to change.

Expert statistics educator Deb Rumsey helps you sort through and evaluate the incredible amount of statistical information that comes to you on a daily basis. (You know the stuff: charts, graphs, tables, computer output, as well as headlines that talk about the results of the latest poll, survey, experiment, or other "scientific study.") She arms you with the ability to decipher and make important decisions about statistical results (for example the results of the latest medical studies) being ever aware of the ways in which people can mislead you with statistics, and how to handle it. Statistics for Dummies is full of real examples from real sources that are relevant to your everyday life: from the latest medical breakthroughs, crime studies, and population trends to surveys on Internet dating, cellphone use, and the worst cars of the millennium. By reading this book, you begin to understand how to use charts, graphs, tables, and computer output, and you also know how to examine the results of the latest polls, surveys, experiments, or other studies. You even find out how to use crickets to gauge temperature and how to win a bigger jackpot in the lottery.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   33 of 35 people found the following review helpful: A straightforward guide to the fundamentals of statistics, 4 Jan 2006 By  "jamie10470" - See all my reviews As software author with over 12 years experience in the industry I utilize facts and figures on a daily basis. Comprehensive, precise and accurate data is essential in my work and moreover the understanding of the methods involved achieving this information. Approximately one year ago I was at a complete loss on a problematic report I was developing in a peace of software, a co-worker recommended I read the Statistics for Dummies and lent me his book. That evening I glanced over the book to quickly locate exactly what was required. The following morning I solved the problem within 30 minutes. I was so taken back with the transparency of the descriptions and straightforwardness of the explanations in the book I acquired a copy for myself on Amazon that very week. This book lives not on the shelf but on my desk at hand with a select few. I am at this time here on Amazon looking to acquire a further copy to exchange my original paperback which is now a little scruffy so while here I thought a quick review was well warranted. Final note, if you’re a student or an accountant, an educator or a developer or anyone whom needs to use statistics I highly recommend this book to you. Statistics are actuality extremely straightforward when explained by someone who truly understands them such as Deborah Rumsey the author of this excellent and easy to understand book.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   14 of 18 people found the following review helpful: Too much repeat, 10 Jan 2006 By  J. L. Vergaert "Jean Louis" (Hammersmith, London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews    I needed a good refershing course about statistics, but this Dummies does not reach it. It is vastly incoherent, trying to make each chapter self-readable with little reference to the previous chapters. As a consequence, there is little structure and too much repeat. It also describes each formula in great detail, at the expense of major points of interests, like quality review, which would deserve a greater focus on practical examples.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
