Learn Statistics Through Manga




Now this is what I need to help me pass Stats. The Manga Guide To Statistics. A manga that engages you to use Statistics in everyday life situations. This should be the new text books because the crap that my professor uses is confusing. This was originally written in Japanese but has been translated into English and now is being sold in the United States.
This unique take on teaching is charming, easy to read, and will have reluctant students of all ages enjoying statistics. As readers follow along with Mr. Yamamoto's distinctive real-world examples, they learn how to:
-Calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation of bowling scores
-Graph ramen noodle prices on a histogram
-Determine the probability of getting an A on a math test
-Calculate the Cramer's coefficient to determine how boys and girls prefer to be asked out
-Use standard score to adjust test results when teachers grade on a curve
