Learning checks found throughout each chapter ensure that you understand the material and end of chapter features such as chapter problems give you the opportunity to review what you have learned. Reader-friendly examples are found throughout so that you can focus on what is really going on with the numbers instead of being overwhelmed by the numbers themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book for beginners, January 24, 2004
By 
Anand Manohar (Tampa, FL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Statistics Unplugged (Paperback)
This book is a very good work for beginners in Statistics. It gives a clear picture of the fundamentals and a good explanation for the formulas. Though this book doesnt have too much of math, it gives you a feel of what statistics is all about. I would recommend this book for people who are taking statistics for the first time or for people who have tough time following the math notations sometimes. The author does a good job by explaining all the concepts with examples. Well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introductory textbook -- also great for review or supplement, October 1, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Statistics Unplugged (Paperback)
This book does the best job of any book I've seen of introducing introductory statistical concepts. This book will give you the foundation upon which to build your statistical repertoire.

Caldwell breaks everything down into the simplest of explanations and then draws the pieces together into a cohesive conceptual framework. She even tells you when future concepts will rely on a concept in the current chapter, advising you when you need a deeper understanding in order to learn the next step. In this way, you know what is expected -- when to review and when to move forward.

I recommend this book as a supplement to a more comprehensive intro book. While other books give you more comprehensive details, this book gives you the conceptual framework which is required to truly excel at quantitative analysis. If you are struggling in statistics, have a need to truly excel, or need a review before moving on to more advanced statistics, this is the best book -- by far -- available today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bravo!, May 8, 2006
This review is from: Statistics Unplugged (Paperback)
Well done, Professor Caldwell!
This is an excellent book. As a faculty member of a medical school, it is a challenge to explain the statistics we employ to our medical students in a clear and cogent manner. This book makes it appear so easy! I would highly recommend it to students taking statistics for the first time, to those needing a refresher, and to teachers in search of simple explanations of complex issues.
