Summary: statistics made easy
Comment: i am a somewhat numbers-phobic graduate student. the last math related class i took was six years ago... so i was very intimidated by my stats class this semester. it was frustrating to me that i had to spend a lot of time re-reading the long and dense chapters of my stats textbook and was still confused after doing so. in desperation, i ordered cliffs quick review of statistics and i can honestly say within 2 days of having this book i understand my stats class so much more. the night before my class i read the chapters of this book that corresponded to the chapters in my textbook. rather than blankly staring at the professor while he lectured i actually understood what he was saying and even answered a question correctly in class. this book gives me confidence that i know the material. it makes things easy to understand and doesn't take a lot of time to get through. it is perfect if you are just looking for a strong introduction to statistics. it's also very, very reasonably priced- i definitely feel like i got my money's worth.

Summary: Much Better Than The "Average"
Comment: Having taken a competitive promotional exam three years ago, I was desperate to find some statistics book I could read and remember without touching the two textbook albatrosses that added unnecessary weight to my bookshelf. This was it.

After reading this my confidence increased the "confidence level" in which I calculated that there was a good probability that I would pass the test among a large, non-random population. (People never get "random" right. I wonder why).

It is also a great little review since probability is one of the fastest things to escape my long-term memory, and I can grab this little yellow and black-striped gem for easy recollection and consumption. It states things easily and simply--just the way I like it. It is very easy to follow. (I gave away the expensive versions.)

The odds are this will be your best bet. This book is much better than the average.

Summary: Cliffs Quick Review
Comment: A good general review. I haven't taken stats in 20 years and needed a quick brush-up for a graduate level research class. This book worked well and will be a good resource while I'm enrolled in my course.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: I am taking Stat 244 after taking the first class 5 years ago. I needed a review to catch up, but I am finding that this is much more comprehensible than the textbook and the instructor. Nice and straight forward... Makes you wonder why you need to spend $80+ for a used textbook in college when you can learn it more efficiently from this little guy... THANK YOU!!!!!!

Summary: Get Cliff's Quick Review of Statistics
Comment: Cliff's Quick Review of Statistics is a good supplement
to any Stat course, and should be kept as a reference.
Good intro text. It ought to be required.

For non-quantitative concepts, presented for the layman,
get the classic "How to Lie With Statistics" by Huff.
