Is anyone here REALLY good with statistics?

[iamali]

If so, is there one particular book you'd recommend to help with my non really good understanding?

I'm talking about one of those "for dummies" books.

Find a sociology statistics book, if you're not a math whiz they break them down a lot easier and give more examples of application in real life aside from plugging formulas.

You might want to try the Khan Academy section on statistics. Not that I'm great at it, but I'm learning, heh.

I like PDQ Statistics by Geoffrey Norman. I have an older edition, but I've kept it on my bookshelf at every job I've had.

YES! Harvey Motulsky's book, Intuitive biostatistics. He breaks down all of the theory in layman's terms, and uses real-life examples. I recently loaned it to a friend getting her master's in nursing and she said it was a huge life saver.

There isn't a single mathematical formula in the entire book. Once I have graduate students of my own, I'll gift this book to them on their first day.
