A great statistics book for graduate student!

If you are a graduate student, you probably need to write a dissertation.

If you need to write a dissertation, you probably evaluate your research outcomes with "numbers", and "percentages".

If you present your research outcomes with numbers and percentages, you probably need to know the basics of statistics.

If you need to learn the basics of statistics, you probably have alot of anxieties.

If you have alot of anxieties, you probably have no idea where to start.

Here is a book I recommend you to start your journey of learning the basics of statistics - Neil J. Salkind, Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics.

This book makes you feel athat statistics is not "sadistics." It is written in a conversatinal style with humor to help readers learn the basics of statistics. yes it is considered as a textbook; yet it is also a ready reference book, in my opinion.
