Synopsis
This is an introductory text in statistics for those who are not specialists in the subject. It makes the subject more relevant for students who have to use statistics as part of their other studies. It avoids mathematics without oversimplifying, emphasizing numeracy and relevance. It not only describes traditional statistical methods but deals with their limitations and discusses alternatives. The approach derives from the Authors earlier successful book on Data Reduction adapted here for classroom use. It covers the basic topics of a statistics course: averages and measures of scatter, frequency distributions and probability, sampling and statistical inference, relationships (including correlation regression, lawlike relationships, and an introduction to multivariate methods), the communication of data, and the design and interpretation of scientific studies. A teachers guide is available from the publishers. " Data Reduction is a very innovative different kind of basic statistical book. I believe our discipline and the disciplines of those whose students we teach would be much better off if we based our first and second courses on Ehrenbergs book rather than on any book of which I am aware." Brian L. Joiner, review of Data Reduction , JASA, September 1982 "It is rare for a text-book, particularly an elementary one, to appeal to the established practitioner many of the tenets contained in this excellent, clear, short and readable work, make one regret it was not available sooner." The Business Economist , Spring 1983 "If you have time to read just one book on basic statistics, The Primer should be it. Chuck Chakrapani, PMRS Journal , Toronto, Nov 1982, A concise, easy to understand introduction that emphasizes the relevance of statistics to real world problems. Describes traditional statistical methods, their uses and limitations, and explains how to reduce numerical data to statistical summaries, how to interpret the results, and how to present the data clearly., A concise, easy to understand introduction that emphasizes the relevance of statistics to real world problems. Describes traditional statistical methods, their uses and limitations, and explains how to reduce numerical data to statistical summaries, how to interpret the results, and how to present the data clearly. Minimizes mathematics without oversimplification and illustrates theories with practical, varied examples. Statistical tables and answers to the exercises are included.

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.

  • Designed as a teaching textbook that provides all you need to learn statistical analysis.

    Initially, I obtained a copy from my local library to evaluate in terms of whether or not I wanted to purchase a copy. Following a review of the library book, I decided to purchase it. However the initial copies i looked at were exorbitant in price some were well over $100. Fortunately I found this one at an extremely reasonable price. The book is written as an introductory textbook by a master in statistical analysis. The language is plain and to the point. And the lessons are presented in a lecturer / student approach to learning. Included are a glossary at the end of each of the first fourteen (14) chapters followed by a series of exercises. Answers to the exercises are in an Appendix at the back of the book. This book is a great teaching aid and a concise reference to learning ...
