 Statistics Made Comfortable March 7, 2001

One of the best summaries of basic statistics: this is how I see this brief book. It gets straight to the point without unnecessary verbiage and irrelevant exercises cooked up by authors of some enormous volumes on statistics that serve to confuse and intimidate rather than teach. This book won't give you detailed explanations of statistical concepts, but there is enough here to supply any beginner with a lot of good understanding of basic statistical techniques, and the book will give an intermediate user a nicre refresher course.

I am taking Stat 244 after taking the first class 5 years ago. I needed a review to catch up, but I am finding that this is much more comprehensible than the textbook and the instructor. Nice and straight forward... Makes you wonder why you need to spend $80+ for a used textbook in college when you can learn it more efficiently from this little guy... THANK YOU!!!!!!
Get Cliff's Quick Review of Statistics January 8, 2002

Cliff's Quick Review of Statistics is a good supplement
to any Stat course, and should be kept as a reference.
Good intro text. It ought to be required. For non-quantitative concepts, presented for the layman,
get the classic "How to Lie With Statistics" by Huff.
best brief "minimum math" book on stats! March 17, 1999
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book should be read before any of the weighty tomes that masquerade as statistical wisdom.Once you have mastered the contents of this brief book,go along to the others-they'll make sense.I recommend this book for all types of audiences-school,college and business refresher. Cliff's should come out with volume 2 covering additional topics.
 Good condensed review November 25, 2001

This book is a condensed review of statistics, without laborious examples. It can be used as a refresher or supplement to a more verbose introductory primer. It is perfect for a high school or a one semester introductory stats course.
