| Think you can't have fun learning statistics? Think again.
The Manga Guide to Statistics will teach you everything you
need to know about this essential discipline, while
entertaining you at the same time. With its unique
combination of Japanese-style comics called manga and
serious educational content, the EduManga format is already
a hit in Japan.
In The Manga Guide to Statistics, our heroine Rui is
determined to learn about statistics to impress the dreamy
Mr. Igarashi and begs her father for a tutor. Soon she's
spending her Saturdays with geeky, bespectacled Mr.
Yamamoto, who patiently teaches her all about the
fundamentals of statistics: topics like data categorization,
averages, graphing, and standard deviation.
After all her studying, Rui is confident in her knowledge of
statistics, including complex concepts like probability,
coefficients of correlation, hypothesis tests, and tests of
independence. But is it enough to impress her dream guy? Or
maybe there's someone better, right in front of her?
Reluctant statistics students of all ages will enjoy
learning along with Rui in this charming, easy-to-read
guide, which uses real-world examples like teen magazine
quizzes, bowling games, test scores, and ramen noodle
prices. Examples, exercises, and answer keys help you follow
along and check your work. An appendix showing how to
perform statistics calculations in Microsoft Excel makes it
easy to put Rui's lessons into practice.
This EduManga book is a translation from a bestselling
series in Japan, co-published with Ohmsha, Ltd. of Tokyo,
Japan.
