Book Description
The Joy of Statistics explores a variety of statistical applications using graphs and plots, along with detailed and intuitive descriptions, and occasionally a bit of 10th grade mathematics. Examples of a few of the topics included among these short stories are pet ownership, gambling games such as roulette, blackjack and lotteries, as well as more serious subjects such as comparison of African-American and white infant mortality risk, infant birth weight and maternal age, estimation of coronary heart disease risk and racial differences in Hodgkin disease. The statistical descriptions of these topics are in many cases accompanied by easy to understand explanations labelled How It Works.
