Success at Statistics: A Worktext with Humor

By Fred Pyrczak

Book Overview

Divided into 67 short sections, this text allows instructors to assign only those sections needed to meet the goals of the course. Humorous riddles allow students to check their work without providing the answers; if the answer to a riddle makes sense, then students know they have answered all questions in an exercise correctly. All major statistics typically introduced in a first-semester course are covered. Contains material on effect size, which provides technical solutions to issues raised earlier in the book (such as the limitations of inferential statistics).

Customer Reviews

Fantastic for a Statistics course

I used this book in undergrad and it helped me understand statistics so much better, to the point where 4 years later in a grad research class, I still remember most of the topics covered in the book.

Awesome stats book!

This book is an awesome guide to stats. It is broken down wonderfully, in which it gives you small pieces of information and then immediately reinforces it with a small review. Highly recommended!

Just what I needed!

The text was in great condition and got me through graduate level stats...exactly as described.

fantastic seller

Laughing my way to an "A"

A hearty, hearty "thank you" is in order for author, Fred Pyrczak. I can't say enough about Success at Statistics! I am in a graduate program for management and one of the program requirements is the often dreaded Stats class. It seems like so many students who take a statistics class using the traditional, academic tomb hates it! A look at Pyrczak's workbook will make any neophyte stats student breathe a sign of relief as well as have some fun! Educators take note: the very short chapter length and the riddles make getting to the answers an adventure! And before you know it, you've gained a very important skill set.
