Description: "Intended for anyone who wants to learn or brush up on the basics of statistics but is anxious about their abilities, this book offers a slow-paced, entertaining introduction to the topic. Using playful headings to encourage students to read further, the book begins with an introduction to the "language" of statistics, and then covers descriptive statistics (from computing measures of central tendency to distributions and curve plotting to graphing data) and inferential statistics (including probability, statistical significance, correlation/regression, ANOVA, and multiple regression)."--Jacket.
