NAKED STATISTICS Stripping the Dread From the Data

Statistics might not be a likely prospect for an audiobook, but author Wheelan and narrator Jonathan Davis make the listening experience quite enjoyable. Davis expertly reads the examples and stories used to demonstrate the big ideas in statistics in an engaging and expressive tone. He captures the importance of the topic and highlights the humorous portions of Wheelan's work with his comedic timing. The charts and tables referenced in the audiobook-- available to download in PDF format--are indispensable for visualizing distributions, frequencies, and formulas. While not a substitute for an economics textbook, this audiobook does a great job of explaining basic statistics. E.N. 2014 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2014]
