Statistics in Plain English

Ok, I've tried to get through several statistics books: statistics without tears, statistics for the utterly confused, etc. etc. and this is the BEST beginner's book on statistics I have found (though it has the least attractive cover!). I did the exercises and didn't read ahead for answers, and really learned each lesson. Of all the books on statistics for beginners, this is the only one where I believe the author sincerely wants the reader to LEARN and not just get the $ for the book. Some of the books are simple at first and then jump to be more complicated too early. Not this one. Mr. Brightman really makes an effort to explain everything as simply as possible.

before reading this book I KNEW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT STATISTICS .In a friendly way this book has met me with statistics .i never entered statistics courses at school.but i passed because this book is excellent for learning alone.I am writing this review because i thought Harvey Brightman is the best statistics teacher i have ever met.And I feel thankful to him. can alaybeyoglu ankara university Turkey
