Riassunto:

By using a simple pack of playing cards, the author of this book explains the important concepts of statistics covering many of the topics included in introductory statistics courses.

He demonstrates: populations and variables; parameters; percentages; probability and sampling; sampling distribution; estimation; hypothesis testing; and two-by-two tables. Each chapter ends with a series of exercises to help the student manipulate the concept under discussion. Answers are included at the back of the text.

Recensione:

"This is a novel approach handling all the basic approaches to statistics―populations, parameters, hypothesis testing, one- and two-tailed tests, contingency tables, etc., and all with a pack of 52 cards. Even exercises are included."
