Contents:
Visualizing information : first impressions -- Measuring central tendency : the middle way -- Measuring spread : power ranges -- Calculating probabilities : taking chances -- Discrete probability distributions : manage your expectations -- Permutations and combinations : making arrangements -- Geometric, binomial, and poisson distributions : keeping things discrete -- Normal distribution : being normal -- Normal distribution part II : beyond normal -- Using statistical sampling : taking samples -- Estimating your population : making predictions -- Constructing confidence intervals : guessing with confidence -- Using hypothesis tests : look at the evidence -- The Chi Square Distribution : there's something going on -- Correlation and regression : what's my line? -- Appendix 1 : Top ten things we didn't cover -- Appendix 2 : Statistics table.
Summary: Helps you get a firm grasp of statistics so you can understand key points and actually use them. This book teaches you to present data visually with charts and plots. It lets you discover the difference between taking the average with mean, median, and mode, and why it's important. It tells how to calculate probability and expectation
