Statistics Essentials For Dummies

Just the essential concepts you need to get ahead in statistics
This practical guide sticks to the point with discrete explanations of essential concepts taught in a typical first semester statistics course.

Roll up your sleeves — discover the many experiments, surveys, and tests you′ll encounter in statistics
Open the book and find:
Descriptive stats, charts, and graphs
Binomial, normal, and t–distributions
The Central Limit Theorem
Correlation and regression
Hypothesis tests and confidence intervals
Probabilities for two–way tables
Checklists for evaluating surveys and experiments
Ten common statistical mistakes
