520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc <br/>An introduction to the field of statistics, which assumes some prior knowledge of mathematics, but not of probability or statistics. This edition has been updated to include problems, examples and figures. It also features over 350 worked examples, and minimal sufficient statistics.
