This review is from: Schaum's Easy Outline: Statistics (Paperback)

I am conflicted about rating this book by 3 stars, and the reason is as follows. This book is exactly as advertised: it is a very condensed collection of stats formulas (with just enough text in between formulas for it to be called a crash course). However, even as a refresher for someone who knows a lot of statistics, this book serves only the purpose of listing formulas, and not of serving to be a concise reminder of the concepts.
