Statistics Essentials For Dummies (9781119590309) was previously published as Statistics Essentials For Dummies (9780470618394). While this version features a new Dummies cover and design, the content is the same as the prior release and should not be considered a new or updated product.

Free of review and ramp-up material, Statistics Essentials For Dummies sticks to the point, with content focused on key course topics only. It provides discrete explanations of essential concepts taught in a typical first semester college-level statistics course, from odds and error margins to confidence intervals and conclusions. This guide is also a perfect reference for parents who need to review critical statistics concepts as they help high school students with homework assignments, as well as for adult learners headed back into the classroom who just need a refresher of the core concepts.

Introduction

This book is designed to give you the essential, nitty-gritty information typically covered in a first semester statistics course. Its bottom-line information for you to use as a refresher, a resource, a quick reference, and/or a study guide. It helps you decipher and make important decisions about statistical polls, experiments, reports, and headlines with confidence, being ever aware of the ways people can mislead you with statistics, and how to handle it.

Topics I work you through include graphs and charts, descriptive statistics, the binomial, normal, and t-distributions, two-way tables, simple linear regression, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, surveys, experiments, and of course the most frustrating yet critical of all statistical topics: sampling distributions and the Central Limit Theorem.

About This Book

This book departs from traditional statistics texts and reference/supplement books and study guides in these ways:

  • Clear and concise step-by-step procedures that intuitively explain how to work through statistics problems and remember the process.
  • Focused, intuitive explanations empower you to know youre doing things right and whether others do it wrong.
  • Nonlinear approach so you can quickly zoom in on that concept or technique you need, without having to read other material first.
  • Easy-to-follow examples reinforce your understanding and help you immediately see how to apply the concepts in practical settings.
  • Understandable language helps you remember and put into practice essential statistical concepts and techniques.
Conventions Used in This Book

I refer to statistics in two different ways: as numerical results (such as means and medians) or as a field of study (for example, Statistics is all about data.).

The second convention refers to the word data. Im going to go with the plural version of the word data in this book. For example data are collected during the experiment not data is collected during the experiment.

Foolish Assumptions

I assume youve had some (not necessarily a lot of) previous experience with statistics somewhere in your past. For example, you can recognize some of the basic statistics such as the mean, median, standard deviation, and perhaps correlation; you can handle some graphs; and you can remember having seen the normal distribution. If its been a while and you are a bit rusty, thats okay; this book is just the thing to jog your memory.

If you have very limited or no prior experience with statistics, allow me to suggest my full-version book, Statistics For Dummies, to build up your foundational knowledge base. But if you are someone who has not seen these ideas before and either doesnt have time for the full version, or you like to plunge into details right away, this book can work for you.

I assume youve had a basic algebra background and can do some of the basic mathematical operations and understand some of the basic notation used in algebra like x, y, summation signs, taking the square root, squaring a number, and so on. (If youd like some backup on the algebra part, I suggest you consider Algebra I For Dummies and Algebra II For Dummies [Wiley]).
