Not knowing statistics can lead to a loss of money, time, and accurate information.

What am I looking at? What do these numbers mean? Why? These are frequent thoughts of those who don’t know much about statistics.


“I’m not a number’s person” is not a good excuse to avoid learning the basics of this essential skill. Are you a person who earns money? Do you shop at the supermarket? Do you vote? Do you read the news? I’m sure you do.

Learn to make decisions like world leaders do.


Do you like to make uninformed, often poor decisions? Are you okay with being manipulated by skewed charts and diagrams? How about being lied to about the effectiveness of a product? I’m sure you don’t.

Statistics can help you make exponentially better calls on what to buy, who to listen to, and what to believe.


This book offers a detailed, illustrated breakdown of the fundamentals of statistics. Develop and use formal logical thinking abilities to understand the message behind numbers and charts in science, politics, and economy.

Sharpen your critical and analytic thinking skills.

Learn basic statistics and spend your money wisely.


Statistics, as a learning tool, can be used or misused. Some will actively lie and mislead with statistics.

Knowing what errors and mistakes to look for will help you to be in a better position to evaluate the information you have been given.
