Vital statistics about statistics -- Number-crunching basics -- Distributions and the central limit theorem -- Guesstimating and hypothesizing with confidence -- Statistical studies and the hunt for a meaningful relationship -- The part of tens -- Appendix: tables for reference."Stymied by statistics? Fear not! In easy-to-understand terms, this guide shows you how to make sense of statistics. From collecting, graphing, and critiquing data to calculating confidence intervals and hypothesis tests, you'll have everything you need to analyze data with confidence. In no time, you'll be deciphering binomial, normal, t-,and sampling distributions; tackling regression and two-way tables; and much more."--

Statistics for the utterly confused / by Jaisingh, Lloyd R.(CARDINAL)701136;
ouped Univariate DataGraphical Displays -- Numerical Measures of Central Tendency -- Numerical Measures of Variability -- Numerical Measures of Position -- Exploring Bivariate Data -- Exploring Categorical Data -- Randomness, Uncertainty, and Probability -- Discrete Probability Distributions -- The Normal Probability Distribution -- Sampling Distributions and the Central Limit Theorem -- Confidence Intervals Large Samples -- Hypothesis Tests - Large Samples -- Confidence Intervals and Hypothesis Tests Small Samples -- Chi-Square Procedures -- One-Way Analysis of Variance.Book Description: When it comes to understanding statistics, even good students can be confused. Perfect for students in any introductory non-calculus-based statistics course, and equally useful to professionals working in the world, Statistics for the Utterly Confused is your ticket to success. Statistical concepts are explained step-by-step and applied to such diverse fields as business, economics, finance, and more. The message of Statistics for the Utterly Confused is simple: you don't have to be confused anymore. Updated and expanded to give you the latest changes in the field, this up-to-the-minute edition includes many new examples of Excel output, the most widely used of all statistics programs; a new chapter on Analysis of Variance (ANOVA); and 200 additions to the 700 self-testing questions and answers. The expert author's Web site also gives you tons of fresh examples, practice problems, and strategies-so you can go from utterly confused to totally prepared in no time.
