Key Essentials of Statistics , Third Edition is the ideal text for readers who want a more economical and streamlined text that covers the essential topics. Drawn from Triola's Elementary Statistics , Tenth Edition, this text provides the same reader-friendly approach with material presented in a real-world context.
Key Topics : Introduction to Statistics; Summarizing and Graphing Data; Statistics for Describing, Exploring, and Comparing Data; Probability; Probability Distributions; Normal Probability Distributions; Estimates and Sample Sizes; Hypothesis Testing; Inferences from Two Samples; Correlation and Regression; Chi-Square and Analysis of Variance.
For a Statistics textbook, it wasn't bad. Mario Triola manages to interject humor throughout the text and gives the book a conversational tone. It won't keep you up turning pages late into the night, but if you have to take a stats class (as I did), this is a good book to read.
