Synopsis

This book presents several topics of elementary statistical theory that have been found useful and workable. Many statisticians and scientists use formulas in statistics without understanding the underlying principles of those formulas, so the author has sought to remove the shroud of mystery surrounding these methods. However, don't let the word 'elementary' fool you. The theories discussed have been so surrounded by intricate mathematics that only by an extended research could a knowledge of the theory be obtained before the writing of this book. The book presupposes only a knowledge of elementary arithmetic, and all examples and exercises have to do with very simple data, so do not be intimidated by the word 'statistics'. This book is a valuable tool for the practical worker in statistics and for those who just want to learn more about the field.
