Product Description

Elementary Statistics: A Brief Version is written for students in the beginning statistics course whose mathematical background is limited to basic algebra.

The learning system found in Elementary Statistics: A Brief Version provides your student with a valuable framework in which to learn and apply concepts! --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bluman's statistics book, July 23, 2004
By indigal "indi" (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews
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.
