A Feel for Statistics
by Ivan Lowe
Publisher: scientificlanguage.com 2016
Number of pages: 121
Description:
Here I present statistics for the ordinary person. Examples are taken from areas of ordinary life. A feel for statistics begins with basic concepts behind the statistics and never gets harder than simple arithmetic. For far too long the mathematicians have confused us with complexity, whereas the real problems lie elsewhere. The course is presented as a series of key ideas.
