From batting averages and political polls to sport reveals and medical analysis, the real-world software of statistics continues to develop by leaps and bounds.

As best-selling creator Charles Wheelan reveals us in Bare Statistics, the suitable knowledge and some well-chosen statistical instruments might help us reply these questions and extra. For many who slept via Stats 101, this ebook is a lifesaver. Wheelan strips away the arcane and technical particulars and focuses on the underlying instinct that drives statistical evaluation. He clarifies key ideas resembling inference, correlation, and regression evaluation, reveals how biased or careless events can manipulate or misrepresent knowledge, and reveals us how good and artistic researchers are exploiting the precious knowledge from pure experiments to sort out thorny questions.
