What is statistics? What is it used for? The Standard Deviants answer these questions and more.

The Standard Deviants take the confusing and make it amusing. With a little magic, you’ll learn statistics without the usual mumbo-jumbo. They’ll go graphical and show you how to make picture-like representations of data. Like distribution curves and stem-and-leaf displays. You’ll discover how to transform a confusing lump of numbers into an easy-to-understand picture.

The Standard Deviants continue their journey into the twisty-and-turny world of statistics. For each statistical concept, you’ll find out how it works and how it fits in the big picture. Ever feel like you’re not ordinary? Then you’ll understand how numbers feel when we talk about measures of variability and standard deviation. Next, it’s the mysterious z-score. What could it be? You’ll find out!

What’s the chance you’ll draw a face card out of a 52-card deck? That’s one of many questions related to probability! Find out about probability and more.

The Standard Deviants cover discrete and continuous random variables like Baryshnikov covers the dance floor. Languish not though, for variance, standard deviation, and other linchpins of statistical learning will also present themselves for your enjoyment. So gather your favorite beverage, and tip up your chair.

The Standard Deviants visit the binomial formula again. The best part of all, you don’t need paper or pen. They’ll go beyond the basics and show you some tricks, using clear explanations and fancy graphics. No mess, no boredom, no cheap gimmicks, just old-fashioned fun and a bit of rhythmics.

More about continuous random intervals. The Standard Deviants take you from point A to point B, step-by-step. On the horizon is the duo of distributions: normal and uniform. These two distributions will sizzle more than hotcakes on a radiator. Then it’s a sample of sampling.

The Standard Deviants lighten your laughter, sooth your suffering, and refine your reasoning. You’ll find out how to employ the empirical rule, command the confidence coefficient, and exercise the error of estimation. And you’ll learn what we call the meanest of the mean: the mean of the sampling distribution.

The Standard Deviants cover null hypotheses, go over the different types of hypothesis tests, and slay the two-headed tyrant of terror, type I and type II errors. Our old friend the z-score makes a reappearance, and so does his compatriot, the t-statistic.
