5.0 out of 5 stars 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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much repeat, 10 Jan 2006

By	J. L. Vergaert "Jean Louis" (Hammersmith, London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps a bit more?, 29 Sep 2009

By	M. Searle (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book is written in a typically chatty and easy going style and puts things across in a generally interesting way but what it seems to lack is a set of activities and additional examples to reinforce initial ideas.

Methods to work out problems (including formulas to use)and selected activities would have turned this from an overview type book to one where the reader felt they had accomplished a real sense of understanding and ability to apply methods to real-life problems. For example, the probability section could have included more about how to work out a range of different queries for instance what are the odds that when rolling 2 dice the total is 6 or, what is the probability that the total is 6 after 3 rolls of the dice?

The book is ok-I was just left with wanting more information and detail.

4.0 out of 5 stars good book
I expected to find more worked examples using figures and formulae. It explains the theory in a very simple way though.
Good value for money. Read more
