Summary: Simple and Concise
Comment: I bought the book looking for something to assist in prepping people for 6 Sigma training in the statistics of analyze phase. Many people have been out of school for a long time or never got into the statistics of 6 sigma before. The goal was to find a primer to help them over the hump before the training.
I found this book to he helpful to me, and have to test it on someone less familar with statistics.
What I liked about it is that it covered 90% of the topics I needed, ANOVA, multi-variate statistics, DOE, and non-parametrics are not included. It did provide a clear, concise description of the topics in a manner that should not lose non-mathematicans. It is not rigorous like a text book, but does a descent job of explaining things in lay language while attempting to bridge the gap between lay language and more correct useage.
My search was not exhustive, but I like this book, and I know it helped one co-worker understand the basics in her college stats course.
Where I found it a little weak is in describing the mathematical notations used (summation signs, etc.). It could have been a little stronger at translating the statistics in to practical useage in the real world.

Summary: Be confused no more!
Comment: I was thrown into a Six Sigma initiative recently. My limited memory of Statistics was one of fear and dread. However, I picked up Statistics for the Utterly Confused... and I am no longer confused. Written similar to "Dummie" books, it's easy to follow, easy to understand, and comes with quizzes to measure how well you're grasping concepts.
Most of the recommendations for this book are for Business Statistics classes. My recommendation is for this book to be passed out to every person without a Math degree that is involved with Six Sigma. The book even gives tips for using it with Minitab and a Stats calculator.
Be confused no more about Statistics, pick up this book!

Summary: Don't take statistics without it.
Comment: 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
