Help Me Learn Statistics

Help Me Learn Statistics contains chapters on the following topics:

• Descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, standard deviation, variance, percentiles, covariance, and correlation)
• Testing hypotheses regarding the mean with a known population variance using the normal distribution.  This includes finding the confidence interval, calculating the z statistic, finding the p-value, and using the critical z.
• Testing hypotheses regarding the mean with a unknown population variance using the T distribution.  This includes calculating the t statistic, finding the p-value, and using the critical t.
• Testing hypotheses comparing the means of two populations when the variance is known and unknown and for paired and unpaired samples.
• Analysis of Variance
• Simple linear regression, multiple linear regression, and an introduction to logistic regression.  Testing hypotheses regarding the estimates of the coefficients and estimates of the dependent variable.  Testing the overall significance of the regression.
• Testing hypotheses regarding the correlation using the T distribution.
• Using the chi-square tests for goodness of fit and independence.
• Testing hypotheses regarding the variance using the chi-squared distribution and the F distribution.
• Testing hypotheses regarding the median and other percentiles using the binomial distribution and normal approximation to the binomial.
• Significance, power, Type I and I errors.

Each topic is taught using examples and practice problems.

In the Apple Bookstore you can choose to download a free sample on testing hypotheses or purchase the book from Apple for $39.99.
