Introduction to Statistics: An Intuitive Guide for Analyzing Data and Unlocking Discoveries. Learn statistics without fear! If you like the clear writing style I use on my website, you’ll love this book! Throughout this ebook, I use the same clear, concise language. I focus on helping you grasp key concepts, methodologies, and procedures. Statistics and math are very different subjects, but you use a certain amount of mathematical tools to do statistical calculations. Sometimes you can understand the statistical idea but get bogged down in the formulas and calculations and end up getting the wrong answer.

This book is pretty comprehensive for being a brief introductory book. This book covers all necessary content areas for an introduction to Statistics course for non-math majors. The text book provides an effective index, plenty of exercises, review questions, and practice tests.
It /5(9). Statistics book covers many statistical fields. Our life is full of events and phenomena that enhance us to study either natural or artificial phenomena could be studied using different fields of science like physics, chemistry, and mathematics. The goal of this book is to connect those concepts with the advanced statistical problems.
This book purports to be an introduction to statistics using R. R has exploded in popularity and today is probably the most powerful system available for doing statistics, having surpassed the older Splus and SAS.
Thus you do well to learn R early on as you begin statistics; it well suits the novice and the expert/5(41).

Few books in statistics have been written with such clarity of thought. The book begins with descriptive statistics and spread of data and moves into population sampling and introduction to basic probability, followed by inferential statistical testing.

Median is used over the mean since it is more robust to outlier values. The first quartile is essentially the 25th percentile; i.e 25% of the points in the data fall below that value. The third quartile is the 75th percentile; i.e 75% of the points in the data fall below that value.Rice Virtual Lab in Statistics This is the original classic with all the simulations and case studies.

For example, if X is equal to the number of miles (to the nearest mile) you drive to work, then X is a discrete random variable.
You count the miles. If X is the distance you drive to work, then you measure values of X and X is a continuous random variable. For a second example, if X is equal to the number of books in a.
