T he main goal of this book is to present basic concepts in elementary statistics and to
illustrate how to tackle some of the most common problems encountered in any elementary,
noncalculus statistics course.
Statistics is a frightful subject for most students. This book provides a friendly, logical,
step-by-step approach to any introductory college-level noncalculus statistics course to
help students overcome this barrier. It is designed as a supplement to the main text for college
students enrolled in any elementary noncalculus course. It is also ideal for the nontraditional
student who is returning to school and needs to review or who needs a nontechnical
reference book on the subject of statistics. In addition, professionals who need a quick reference
guide and high school students who need a quick review of topics in the AP statistics
curriculum may use this book. The book is written for nonstatisticians and can be used
by students in all disciplines. It takes a "Dummies" or "Idiot's Guide" approach to the
learning of concepts. Such an approach offers the student an effortless way to the understanding
of statistical concepts and, as such, furnishes him or her with a better chance at
doing well in a noncalculus statistics course. In addition, this approach to presenting statistical
concepts eases the stress of students who are enrolled in noncalculus statistics courses
or who are reviewing before returning to college.
The "Test Yourself" sections at the end of each chapter allow students to build confidence
by working problems related to the relevant concepts. Nonthreatening explanations
of terms and symbols rather than definitions are given throughout the book. Examples are
taken from a wide variety of disciplines that emphasize the concepts and are to the point.
It is the honest desire of the author that this book will help students to have a better
understanding of concepts in elementary statistics. It is also the sincere hope of the author
that this book will help them to lessen the stress brought about by the subject of statistics. |
