Statistics: for self-study or classroom use

This update of the successful self-teaching guide introduces the basic concepts and procedures of statistics in all its popular applications.

Topics include basic skills, populations and samples, estimating, hypothesis testing, difference between means, the difference between two variances on several means, the relations between two sets of measures, a test of distributions, and the combined effects of two variables. Features numerous tables, including reference formulas, squares and square roots, and binomial probabilities.
