Basic statistics is a course that I have taught at Mount Mercy College over thirty times. Since it is required for several majors, including business, nursing and psychology, the student population is a varied one. Therefore, I get everyone from seasoned math majors to people who have held off taking a math course until the last possible session. Some of these students really need their hands held in several ways, from extra human interactive help to additional reading material with practice problems. While this book cannot help with the former, it is an excellent solution for the latter.By Charles Ashbacher HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE VOICE
As the name implies, this is a workbook containing problems in basic statistics. There is very little explanatory text, the bulk of the explanations are in the form of solved problems. The topics covered are:
*) Organizing data into graphs, charts and histograms
*) Measures of the center and the spread of the data
*) The fundamentals of probability
*) The distributions used in statistical analysis
*) Confidence intervals of means, proportions and the differences between two of them
*) Hypothesis testing of means, proportions and the differences between two of them
*) Correlation and regression
*) Summaries containing a review of the mathematics, the top ten statistical formulas and ten ways to spot statistical mistakes
As is always the case with survey books, it is possible to criticize the exclusion of a topic or two. Furthermore, this is not a book that the general beginner population could use to learn statistics. However, if you are searching for something to give you supplemental work in statistics or are looking for something that will give you a quick and effective review, then this book is what you are looking for.
As someone who teaches Statistics to Information Technology professionals I am always looking for new ways of explaining basic Statistical ideas to "newcomers". This book is excellent for those learners who find it easier to learn through examples and practice than just by reading theory. It is true that one would need another book for comprehensive explanations, however this book is one of the best resources available for "hands-on" practice. Although other reviewers have covered the book's contents I would like to focus on Chapter 19, Ten Ways to Spot Common Statistical Mistakes, that covers the following topics:By MAURICIO AGUIAR
- Scrutinizing Graphs
- Searching for and Specifying Bias
- Marking the Margin of Error
- Scanning for Sample Size
- Studying Sample Selection (Gotta Be Random)
- Checking for Confounding Variables
- Considering Correlation
- Doing the Math
- Detecting Selective Reporting
- Avoiding the Anecdote
I believe every introductory Statistics book should contain a similar section.
This book is also a great help for those who already know basic Statistics and need a quick, practical review.
