Bluman's statistics book,
By indigal "indi" (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Elementary Statistics (Book ) with CDROM (Hardcover)
This is THE BEST elementary statistics book I have read. Covers all concepts in a very easy to understand manner. The examples and solved problems show you eaxctly how a problem can be approached. For non-statiscians who want to use statistics to analyze their data, this is an excellent starting point. Wont boggle you with extensive formulae and derivations. But will tell you how and why the tests were developed and why and where you should use a particular test. Excellent ready reference for any data analyst.
