A focused refresher on introductory statistics

Deborah J. Rumsey’s guide gathers core topics from a typical first-semester college statistics course, including odds, error margins, confidence intervals, and drawing conclusions. Its scope is deliberately concentrated on essential concepts, without review or ramp-up material, making it a compact reference for revisiting course fundamentals. The publisher notes that this edition has a new cover and design but retains the content of the earlier release; it is not an updated edition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students taking an introductory college statistics course
  • Learners in more advanced statistics courses who want a reference to foundational concepts
  • Parents helping high school students with statistics homework, and adults returning to study

Book overview

Statistics Essentials For Dummies (9781119590309) was previously published as Statistics Essentials For Dummies (9780470618394). While this version features a new Dummies cover and design, the content is the same as the prior release and should not be considered a new or updated product.

Statistics Essentials For Dummies not only provides students enrolled in Statistics I with an excellent high-level overview of key concepts, but it also serves as a reference or refresher for students in upper-level statistics courses. Free of review and ramp-up material, Statistics Essentials For Dummies sticks to the point, with content focused on key course topics only. It provides discrete explanations of essential concepts taught in a typical first semester college-level statistics course, from odds and error margins to confidence intervals and conclusions. This guide is also a perfect reference for parents who need to review critical statistics concepts as they help high school students with homework assignments, as well as for adult learners headed back into the classroom who just need a refresher of the core concepts.

Dummies is proud to present our new series, The Essentials For Dummies. Now students who are prepping for exams, preparing to study new material, or who just need a refresher can have a concise, easy-to-understand review guide that covers an entire course by concentrating solely on the most important concepts. From algebra and chemistry to grammar and Spanish, our expert authors focus on the skills students most need to succeed in a subject.
