Much Better Than The "Average"

Having taken a competitive promotional exam three years ago, I was desperate to find some statistics book I could read and remember without touching the two textbook albatrosses that added unnecessary weight to my bookshelf. This was it. After reading this my confidence increased the "confidence level" in which I calculated that there was a good probability that I would pass the test among a large, non-random population. (People never get "random" right. I wonder why). It is also a great little review since probability is one of the fastest things to escape my long-term memory, and I can grab this little yellow and black-striped gem for easy recollection and consumption. It states things easily and simply--just the way I like it. It is very easy to follow. (I gave away the expensive versions.) The odds are this will be your best bet. This book is much better than the average.

Excellent

I am taking Stat 244 after taking the first class 5 years ago. I needed a review to catch up, but I am finding that this is much more comprehensible than the textbook and the instructor. Nice and straight forward... Makes you wonder why you need to spend $80+ for a used textbook in college when you can learn it more efficiently from this little guy... THANK YOU!!!!!!

Get Cliff's Quick Review of Statistics

Cliff's Quick Review of Statistics is a good supplement to any Stat course, and should be kept as a reference. Good intro text. It ought to be required. For non-quantitative concepts, presented for the layman, get the classic "How to Lie With Statistics" by Huff.

Statistics Made Comfortable

One of the best summaries of basic statistics: this is how I see this brief book. It gets straight to the point without unnecessary verbiage and irrelevant exercises cooked up by authors of some enormous volumes on statistics that serve to confuse and intimidate rather than teach. This book won't give you detailed explanations of statistical concepts, but there is enough here to supply any beginner with a lot of good understanding of basic statistical techniques, and the book will give an intermediate user a nicre refresher course.

best brief "minimum math" book on stats!

This book should be read before any of the weighty tomes that masquerade as statistical wisdom.Once you have mastered the contents of this brief book,go along to the others-they'll make sense.I recommend this book for all types of audiences-school,college and business refresher. Cliff's should come out with volume 2 covering additional topics.
