Once considered tedious, the field of statistics is rapidly transforming into a discipline that Hal Varian at Google has called "sexy." And with good reason-from batting averages and political polls to game shows and medical research, the real-world application of statistics is growing by leaps and bounds. In Naked Statistics, Charles Wheelan strips away the arcane and technical details to get at the underlying intuition that is so key to understanding the power of statistical concepts.
