Using Statistics: A Gentle Introduction - Paperback
by Gordon Rugg (Author)
A lot of students have to learn some statistics as part of their degree. Students in this situation usually find statistics stressful, difficult, and difficult to relate to the rest of their degree. This book is intended to help students in this situation. It explains how statistics can be used as a helpful tool. It describes the key concepts of statistics, and how statistics are used; it's written in clear, accessible language, with numerous examples and illustrative anecdotes, and it's centred around the reader, not around the statistics.
