Street-Smart Stats: A Friendly Introduction to Statistical Research Methods

By Katie Kormanik

Math -- especially statistics -- CAN be fun and engaging. Statistics is an incredibly valuable tool and everyone should have the opportunity to know how to use it. This book is a super friendly introduction to practical statistical concepts that you can use every day.I wrote Street-Smart Stats as if I'm sitting right next to you, explaining statistical concepts and drawing diagrams to visualize them. The book contains real-world examples, exercises with answers in the back, and R tutorials. There's a little bit of theory where it will help to understand the methodology behind drawing conclusions, but all complex concepts have many visualizations and I refresh readers' memories of these concepts throughout the book.The goal of this book is to demonstrate the beauty of statistics and its value in everyday use. If you finish the book feeling equipped with the skills to use these tools and excited to learn more, mission accomplished!
