Statistics; an intuitive approach [by] George H. Weinberg [and] John A. Schumaker

"This book is designed primarily as a text for use in an elementary statistics course given on either the undergraduate or the graduate level. It is aimed especially at the growing number of students in the fields of psychology, education, and the social sciences who have little knowledge of mathematics. The intent is to impart to such students a rigorous understanding of the various topics usually covered in a first course without forcing them to grapple with elaborate mathematical symbols or notations. The primary emphasis is on proper insight into concepts; only after each new concept is developed are problems posed. The hope is that the student who uses this book will be able not only to make use of the basic concepts but to think in their terms. The book is self-contained and should also be useful to the worker who wishes to develop statistical literacy but who is not actually taking a formal statistics course"--Preface.
