by Jeffrey C. Bauer ’69

Americans are bombarded with statistical data every day, and healthcare professionals are no exception. This book explains the fundamental concepts of statistics, as well as their common uses and misuses. Without jargon or mathematical formulas, Bauer presents a clear explanation of what statistics do. He provides a practical discussion of scientific methods and data showing why statistics should not be allowed to compensate for bad science or bad data.
