 Too much repeat January 10, 2006
15 out of 19 found this review helpful
I needed a good refershing course about statistics, but this Dummies does not reach it. It is vastly incoherent, trying to make each chapter self-readable with little reference to the previous chapters. As a consequence, there is little structure and too much repeat. It also describes each formula in great detail, at the expense of major points of interests, like quality review, which would deserve a greater focus on practical examples.
 A straightforward guide to the fundamentals of statistics January 4, 2006
34 out of 36 found this review helpful
As software author with over 12 years experience in the industry I utilize facts and figures on a daily basis. Comprehensive, precise and accurate data is essential in my work and moreover the understanding of the methods involved achieving this information.
Approximately one year ago I was at a complete loss on a problematic report I was developing in a peace of software, a co-worker recommended I read the Statistics for Dummies and lent me his book. That evening I glanced over the book to quickly locate exactly what was required. The following morning I solved the problem within 30 minutes. I was so taken back with the transparency of the descriptions and straightforwardness of the explanations in the book I acquired a copy for myself on Amazon that very week.
This book lives not on the shelf but on my desk at hand with a select few.
I am at this time here on Amazon looking to acquire a further copy to exchange my original paperback which is now a little scruffy so while here I thought a quick review was well warranted.
Final note, if you’re a student or an accountant, an educator or a developer or anyone whom needs to use statistics I highly recommend this book to you.
Statistics are actuality extremely straightforward when explained by someone who truly understands them such as Deborah Rumsey the author of this excellent and easy to understand book.
