Customer Rating for this product is 5 out of 5 Statistics is not Sadistic after all!
Jon M. James, a high school statistics teacher, 08/29/2001

Many of my students get confused over some of the rules/exceptions in statistics. I recommend this book to all of my students as a supplemental book to help clear the confusion. Gonick and Smith are savers of the statistical race!

Customer Rating for this product is 4 out of 5 must have for any one new to statistical functions

I use the book to clarify information in my statistics text. The illustrations make it easy to apply the traditional formula applciation to relative situations. Very practical and useful.
