A Whistle-Stop Tour of Statistics (Paperback, New)

This book follows in the footsteps of The Mathematics Companion and The Physics Companion, presenting an introduction to basic probability and statistics through bite-size coverage of key topics. It is designed as a revision aid and study guide for undergraduate students, with descriptions of key concepts from probability and statistics in self-contained sections. It also makes an excellent reference for non-statisticians from various scientific disciplines who need an easy-to-follow reference for basic statistical techniques. The text shows how statistics can be applied in the real world, with lots of interesting examples and plenty of diagrams and graphs to illustrate the concepts more clearly.
