Exactly what it purports to be, a basic intro to stats! Would be really good for a middle- to high-schooler who had no idea what stats was to get a familiarity w the topic.

Not the [b:The Cartoon Guide to Statistics|168872|The Cartoon Guide to Statistics|Larry Gonick|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1347462819s/168872.jpg|163075], but an introduction, which it handles well. In the latter chapters, it moves beyond introduction into basic inference and then throws ideas out quickly - the explanations are lacking.

I haven't read Gonick's book, but in this the artwork is rough, at times hard to tell the characters apart. They aren't integral to the main point, but... confusion is not what you want while teaching statistics.

Overall rating - okay, maybe good, not great. A 2 star rating falls within the 95% confidence range.

Ну такое. Материал местами подан как-то скомкано, иллюстрации похожи друг на друга, некоторые буквы в шрифте не очень хорошо воспринимаются ("ы" выглядит как "bl", например). Лучше пропустить всю книгу и прочитать только приложение, где всё хотя бы написано нормальным языком.

was what I was expecting, very visual way to the ideas of entry-level statistics. I have a big group of numbers I use on an almost daily basis for mean and medium anyways so this was a great way to see it a bit better and if I can figure out the math maby pull better information out of it. the book presented the idea's and theories really well but I could have done with a little more math.

Accessible, fun tone. An excellent tool for processing the fundamentals of a complicated subject.
