Picking up where Elements of Statistics I leaves off, this study guide clearly explains discrete probability distribution, including normal, continuing, sampling, and other distributions. The practical, cross-referenced problems throughout are drawn from such fields as anthropology, biology, business, government, medecine, psychology and sociology, and the solutions are fully explained. A perfect supplement to the leading textbooks, students will also find this book ideal for independent study. Supplementary questions aid self-testing.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Coverage is Good and Material is Accurate - No Data Sets,

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Elements of Statistics II: Inferential Statistics (Paperback)
Most Statistical Analysis needs computational data. There is very little data other than statistical parameters included in the included tests in every test case and througout the text. This text is accurate and current but outdated in reference to the need for use of computation and computational data.

Not bad, but it could be better.,
By Leonardo (Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Elements of Statistics II: Inferential Statistics (Paperback)
I've read some books of "Schaum's Outline" series and I think that this one is not so good. In my opinion, the principal area of the subject is "hypothesis testing" that is not well covered. Despite this, the "probability distributions" part is usefull.
