Statistics has become a form of logic or rhetoric that everyone needs to learn to navigate the modern world. Though this book is primarily aimed at undergraduate students who are required to take at least one compulsory statistics course before graduation, it is also a valuable guide for anyone who has little or no background in statistics and wants to become statistics literate. Without the pretensions of the famous book that the learning of statistics can be without tears or that you don’t need to understand symbols, formulae, and equations, this book will prepare you to understand basic statistics and to complete your statistics course without anxiety. This book has been written with the conviction that you don’t need to be a mathematician to learn statistics. It is a crucial resource for students taking a required statistics course who are intimidated by statistical symbols, formulae, and daunting equations. The application of statistics in social research has become imperative. A gap usually exists between the time when students take their first statistics course and when they engage in their first serious research project (typically during an internship, or a research methods course, or their final year project/thesis). Because of this gap, students often don’t remember basic statistics well enough to apply it effectively in their research. Hence, there is a need for a “desk reference,” “refresher,” or “core concept” text—an Elements of Statistics for burgeoning researchers, à la Strunk and White’s Elements of Style. This book will serve as an excellent desk reference, refresher, or core concept text for the budding researcher. It will also be helpful while interning or working as a research assistant or research associate. Those who feel left out when their colleagues, supervisors, or bosses use statistics will benefit from this book. This particular group of people has been on my mind for a long time. When I was employed as a workforce data analyst for an employment equity office in the early 1990s, I routinely prepared reports and presentations for senior management. The basic education of my manager was grade 11, and her boss, an assistant deputy minister (ADM), had grade 12 with an accounting certification. They both had missed the opportunity to learn statistics in school. One day, my manager returned from her boss’s office after discussing a report I had prepared and told me that the ADM preferred “circles” not “hills” in
