Payton ”I am a numbers and stats wreck. Good-Natured Statistics is the prescription I needed to calm my nerves.” C. Long ”Statistics have always been a big blur for me. It is refreshing to pick up Dr. Weaver’s chapters and read.” O. Darby ”Dr. Weaver has a very direct way of explaining the material, almost simplistic. I appreciate this quality.” C. Westerman ”Using romance to explain [Chapter 3 concepts] is just what I needed.” L. Watkins ”Your way of defining hypothesis testing made me laugh.” D. Westerman ”I particularly liked Dr. Weaver’s analogies to gambling, examples like personal beauty and her experiences with the dolphins an baby chimps.” A. Johnson
