Statistics for college students and researchers: Second Edition

By Michael M Nikoletseas

Free textbook and practice problems at https: //statisticstextbook.com. Revised edition March 2024. This book teaches students and researchers the math and application (statistical tests) of Statistics using simple arithmetic and only five simple formulas. All parametric statistical tests, from the most simple to very complex, are covered with examples. Few introductory Statistics textbooks cover this wide range. Few Statistics books cover statistical design. This is necessary in experimental sciences. This book explains with words the logic of applied statistics and provides many step-by-step examples. The author of this book is a retired professor of Medicine with a life-long teaching and research experience.
