The Cartoon Guide to Statistics

The Cartoon Guide to Statistics (with Woollcott Smith)

Statistics is a student's bete noire. An ordeal. A chore. A requirement. But to me, it's like magic. Isn't it amazing that probability governs the basic laws of the universe? Statistical models are somehow more real than reality itself!

The Cartoon Guide to Statistics, is the most popular of all the cartoon guides, covers the basics of data sets, probability, random variables, binomial and normal distributions, sampling, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, experimental design, and more. Formulas included!Great reference book to review.
