Statistics for the Utterly Confused
I am a student at Morehead State University and Business Statistics is one of the most difficult classes in my course requirements until I discovered the book, Statistics for the Utterly Confused. The layout of the book was very thorough and easy to read. I truly appreciated the examples given throughout each chapter. The 'quick tips' and 'its a wrap' sections of the book helped me make sure that I understood the key points that were discussed! I would advise anyone who is having a difficult time with statistics to definitely purchase this book. It was a great investment that helped out tremendously!

Utterly amazing
This book is GREAT! I've been teaching statistics to students who have little interest in statistics. In fact, most of them are math phobic. Students who use STATISTICS FOR THE UTTERLY CONFUSED to supplement their learning just love it. Jaisingh has a wonderfully creative mind. He reduces complex concepts to the most fundamental meaning. From that point, phobic students begin to understand the applications of statistics to their profession. Most importantly, they experience success and become less math phobic.One particularly section of his book stands out -- z-score transformation. Understanding z-score transformation is a problem for many of my students. After class lectures and reading Jaisingh's elaboration of these concepts, students gain insight. Mose importantly than z-score transformation, students advance their knowledge regarding the relevance of normal distributions.
This is a worthy book for any math phobic student who is enrolled in a statistics course.

Don't take statistics without it.
I took a statistics correspondence course for credit. The study guide made no sense to me. I finally got online and found this book. I was hesitant, because like the computer instructions you get, Statistic instructors think they are dummying it down for us but are only dummying it down for them. I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the quesions at the end. You are able to apply the knowledge immediately and get feedback. I received an A in the course, and not from the expensive study guide that I bought that was supposed to help me pass.
Any average person who is required to take statistics should get this book. If it helped me, it will help anyone. Thanks Dr. Jaisingh Similar Products
