Introduction to Statistics: An Intuitive Guide for Analyzing Data and Unlocking Discoveries

Came unused. Good book for an intro to stats class.

I bought this book a while back, but barely cracked it open. However, my course work started to take a more statistics-heavy turn, so I decided to reference the book for some topics that confused me. Jim does a great job of explaining topics that were not easy to follow in my textbook for my class. He writes in an approachable way that I think anyone can learn from, especially those of us where it's been a while since we've been in a statistics class. His blog is also great, which was the reason I bought the book to begin with. I use it often for my classes. I have recommended this to my classmates who are also struggling in my class.

It is clear, concise and easy to process.

I'm very privileged to relearn something I need for my degree.

This book has a bare minimum of math but lays out the reasoning behind the use of statistics and a foundation for how to use statistics in a manner to maximize their helpfulness in problem solving.

Found Mr. Jim Frost’s incredibly helpful blog first, then discovered he has also published books for further understanding. Well-written for the novice or advanced reader interested in statistics, hypothesis testing, analyzing data, other. Arranged so your choice of statistical software can be used to handle the calculations (equations can be found in most textbooks if desired), you get right into learning concepts and practices needed to know how to perform the analysis and interpret results correctly.

The book is missing some key formulas, as well as data to support a particular example. There is no discussion of the Poisson distribution.

Love the author's style of writing. He's a famous Stats blogger at statisticsbyhim.com and his writing is super friendly, easy to read, easy to understand, and enjoyable, which is all quite impressive for the topic of Statistics. This book is a blend of what you learn in the classroom and what you use in practice. As a Stats teacher, I find it immensely helpful. It's also a great book for students and those in industry. Highly recommend!

Il libro da l’aspetto pratico come usare gli Statistici Al lavoro

This is an excelent book. Easy to read. Help a lot to understand statistics. There is no math complications. The author explain step by step the concepts and explain the way to use statistical softwares against greek understandble simbols. Great book!

I’m disappointed with this book—it’s entirely theoretical and doesn’t add any real value to your knowledge. Unfortunately, there’s no return option, and now I understand why. The book simply isn’t worth the price it’s being sold. at. This is the first time I regret buying a book at such a high price, especially since it’s not worth the cost.

Its an excellent book. The author explains the concepts very easy to understand and literally he said "like to focus more to explains concepts, theory and what you need to learn from data and charts than investing time explains complex formulas, without saying that formulas didnt worth it but today computer tools as Python, etc do it all automatically all calculation, of course you need to learn python but at the end of the day if you dont know basic concepts of statistics and so on you will not understand what results are saying to you " I bought his three books as I am studying data science.
