Statistics in a Nutshell
by Sarah Boslaugh Paul Andrew WattersNeed to learn statistics as part of your job, or want some help passing a statistics course? Statistics in a Nutshell is a clear and concise introduction and reference that's perfect for anyone with no previous background in the subject. This book gives you a solid understanding of statistics without being too simple, yet without the numbing complexity of most college texts. You get a firm grasp of the fundamentals and a hands-on understanding of how to apply them before moving on to the more advanced material that follows. Each chapter presents you with easy-to-follow descriptions illustrated by graphics, formulas, and plenty of solved examples. Before you know it, you'll learn to apply statistical reasoning and statistical techniques, from basic concepts of probability and hypothesis testing to multivariate analysis. Organized into four distinct sections, Statistics in a Nutshell offers you:Introductory material: Different ways to think about statistics Basic concepts of measurement and probability theoryData management for statistical analysis Research design and experimental design How to critique statistics presented by others Basic inferential statistics: Basic concepts of inferential statistics The concept of correlation, when it is and is not an appropriate measure of association Dichotomous and categorical data The distinction between parametric and nonparametric statistics Advanced inferential techniques: The General Linear Model Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and MANOVA Multiple linear regression Specialized techniques: Business and quality improvement statistics Medical and public health statistics Educational and psychological statistics Unlike many introductory books on the subject, Statistics in a Nutshell doesn't omit important material in an effort to dumb it down. And this book is far more practical than most college texts, which tend to over-emphasize calculation without teaching you when and how to apply different statistical tests. With Statistics in a Nutshell, you learn how to perform most common statistical analyses, and understand statistical techniques presented in research articles. If you need to know how to use a wide range of statistical techniques without getting in over your head, this is the book you want.

Statistics Through Applications
by Daren S. Starnes Daniel S. Yates David S. MooreWatch avideo introduction here. Statistics Through Applications (STA)is the only text written specifically for high school statistics course. Designed to be read, the book takes a data analysis approach that emphasizes conceptual understanding over computation, while recognizing that some computation is necessary. The focus is on the statistical thinking behind data gathering and interpretation. The high school statistics course is often the first applied math course students take. STAengages students in learning how statisticians contribute to our understanding of the world and helps students to become more discerning consumers of the statistics they encounter in ads, economic reports, political campaigns, and elsewhere. New and improved!STA 2efeatures expanded coverage of probability, a reorganized presentation of data analysis, a new color design and much more.

Stats in Your World
by David E. Bock Thomas J. Mariano Paul F. Velleman Richard D. De Veaux“This text presents Statistics as a key tool for thinking about the world. By leading with real-world examples, clear graphics, and practical data analysis, we get students "doing Statistics" quickly and "thinking statistically" right from the start. The questions that motivate our hundreds of examples and exercises highlight the wide applicability of Statistics, teach the methods and procedures of proper data analysis, and--most importantly--emphasize thinking about what the results mean. We modeled the first edition on Stats: Modeling the World, the highly successful AP® Statistics book, and have been thrilled by feedback from all sides. Teachers are delighted that students can and do learn from reading the text, and their students say (to their amazement) that they even find the book enjoyable. The book's engaging style, support for underlying math skills, and scaffolded materials that enable success for all students tie all the skills and concepts to the world we live in. In this course and with this textbook, you can say goodbye to that oft-uttered math class question, "When does anyone ever use this stuff?"!” – from the book.
