Review Quotes




As indicated by the title, Statistics for the Terrified has a target audience. The book features specialized content for this audience, such as insights on how to overcome math anxiety. However, both terrified and unnerved readers alike will appreciate the clear and relaxed style with which the authors present information. This book covers a range of foundational topics, from basic math concepts to statistical inference. In the postscript, the authors highlight the practical value of this content and encourage those who are interested to build upon this foundational knowledge. Now in its seventh edition, the book clearly resonates with readers and serves as a valuable resource for those interested in developing statistical expertise.



Brief but erudite; fun but mathematically muscular, too; this ideal, affordable textbook will be appropriate for any introductory undergraduate statistics course or related social science class. I have taught many versions of this text, but the seventh edition is the best yet, due in part to its inclusion of more-contemporary concepts such as effect sizes.



Kranzler and Anthony provide faculty with a concise, nonthreatening text specifically for students who have spent their lives fearing math classes. The book helps faculty walk students through statistics and helps students realize that they can succeed at math.



Statistics for the Terrified is an excellent resource for introducing elementary statistical concepts to students and faculty who are looking for a non-technical explanation of technical topics. Readers will be "taken by the hand" and led through strategies for overcoming their anxieties about math before learning about key concepts in descriptive and inferential statistics. Statistics for the Terrified is a welcome companion to any college statistics and research methods course.
