This fun and practical book presents concepts from statistical research and psychological measurement in a way that is easy to understand. The 60 standalone hacks from author Bruce Frey, PhD will not only amaze and entertain you, but also give you an advantage in several real-world situations. 'Statistics Hacks' shows you how to prove beyond all doubt whether one thing causes another, and how the central limit theorem allows you to know everything by knowing just a little. On a more practical level, you will learn how to use percentages to your advantage, raise your scores on SAT tests and other multiple-choice exams, and build unbreakable codes. The chapter on Fun and Games shows you how numbers can help you beat the odds in Texas Hold 'Em, the lottery, blackjack, craps, or the March Madness pool at the office.
