How to Raise a Family Using The Concepts of Statistics: A Primer on Understanding the Complex World of Statistical Models

Statistics is not really that difficult to understand, though students often have trouble understanding statistical concepts. This happens because students and professors start out focusing too much on the mathematics instead of underlying concepts of statistics. The key to helping students understand statistics is to put the concepts into familiar ground. For many students, really for all of us, this is family. We all have had some experiences related to families ... either being from a family, being part of a family, knowing a family or even perhaps wanting to be far away from a family as humanly possible! People have strong feelings about their family experiences and because of this they tend to remember stories and experiences they can relate to their families. Using family experiences to explain the concepts of statistics has helped students understand and apply the concepts of statistics properly! This book focuses on helping students understand the concepts of statistics and further applies the concepts explained in familiar terms to the fields of education, healthcare, politics and manufacturing … along with proposing a new model for teaching statistics and a set of general rules governing how statistical concepts should be studied and applied.
