Cartoon guide to statistics

If your students have ever looked for P-values by shopping at P mart, tried to watch the Bernoulli Trails on ''People''s Court,'' or think that the standard deviation is a criminal offense in six states, then they need The Cartoon Guide to Statistics to put them on the road to statistical literacy. It covers all the central ideas of modern statistics: the summary and display of data, probability in gambling and medicine, random variables, Bernoulli Trails, the Central Limit Theorem, hypothesis testing, confidence interval estimation, and much more-all explained in simple, clear, and yes, funny illustrations. ''Gonick is so consistently witty and clever that the reader is barely aware of being given a thorough grounding.'' -Omni
