Statistics and Data Analysis: An Introduction

by Andrew F. Siegel

An introductory text for nontechnical students that integrates traditional statistical inference with the more modern idea of data analysis. Material begins with simple data sets and proceeds to those with more structure. Examples are plentiful and have been chosen from diverse fields, making the subject accessible to students of any academic field. Contains many pictures, as well as detailed calculations with step-by-step instructions and formulas that indicate in mathematical notation exactly what is being done. At the end of each chapter is a brief summary which reviews the material and explains key terms. Following this are questions which help readers review main new concepts and ideas, and practice problems (many with real data sets). Requires limited background in mathematics.

If you find you have to learn statistics or if you WANT to learn statistics but you have questionable math abilities this is the book for you. I'm only a few chapters in but Siegel and Morgan's clear, concise explanations of what could be difficult and confusing concepts in the hands of lesser mathmaticians leave me wanting more!
Highly recommended.
