The Manga Guide to Statistics will teach you everything you need to know about this essential discipline, while entertaining you at the same time. With its unique combination of Japanese-style comics called manga and serious educational content, the EduManga format is already a hit in Japan. In The Manga Guide to Statistics, our heroine Rui is determined to learn about statistics to impress the dreamy Mr. Igarashi and begs her father for a tutor. Soon she's spending her Saturdays with geeky, bespectacled Mr. Yamamoto, who patiently teaches her all about the fundamentals of statistics: topics like data categorization, averages, graphing, and standard deviation. After all her studying, Rui is confident in her knowledge of statistics, including complex concepts like probability, coefficients of correlation, hypothesis tests, and tests of independence. But is it enough to impress her dream guy. Or maybe there's someone better, right in front of her. Reluctant statistics students of all ages will enjoy learning along with Rui in this charming, easy-to-read guide, which uses real-world examples like teen magazine quizzes, bowling games, test scores, and ramen noodle prices. Examples, exercises, and answer keys help you follow along and check your work. An appendix showing how to perform statistics calculations in Microsoft Excel makes it easy to put Rui's lessons into practice.

Each of the seven chapters is organized into four sections: a cartoon, a text explanation to supplement the cartoon, an exercise that includes the answer, and a summary. Readers can learn much about the subject by just reading the cartoon, but they will gain a more thorough understanding by working through the other three sections in each chapter. Yamamoto provides Rui with easy-to-understand examples and graphic illustrations, making the subject less intimidating. The art is charming and the humor engaging. Readers will enjoy following Rui as she struggles with math concepts while showing off her new school uniform and realizing her romantic feelings for her tutor.

Chow 5.0 out of 5 stars This book is great to explain the basic information about stat. There are some terminology that I didn't know as well. I like their approach of using daily stuff to explain stats.Also, towards the end, there are small practice problem for you to do. Is nothing much but at least to start some where. It's easy reading, and I enjoy it.Thanks Shin Takahashi.http://emmanuelschooltonk.com/userfiles/d2d4112-manual.xml Student - Reviewed book -- the content is interesting, fun and easy to follow while helping me with not only statistics but Micro Soft Excel as well, however - some of the functions in Excel do not seem to correlate any longer, but still gives a very good gist of the application. Thank you - hope this helps.For one thing, as white Westerner, I was utterly charmed by the Japanese flair in the book. I doubt we do. The art and narrative is relentlessly cute (in a way I approve of.after all, who doesn't love the Japanese gape-mouthed pillow cushion of a monster, Domo?). And the statistics instruction is, while kept basic enough, comprehensive enough to have made me feel like I was picking up valuable knowledge. There's probably nothing here that a real statistician would find compelling, but for a young person or an older person who's never properly learned any statistics, this book is the spoonful of plum wine that helps the standard deviations go down. As to unadulterated usefulness, that might come in the last chapter and appendix, which demonstrates how an Excel spreadsheet can be used to figure out statistical data. Another reviewer commented that the longish-winded explanations the tutor gives to how statistics work, the formulae that are used to work them out, are unnecessary because most of those functions are easily accomplished with computers now. That's a fair point, but I disagree. I still think there is something importantly organically with connecting on an understanding level with what computer functions are up to that helps maintain the meaning of those functions for us better. I might liken it to photography--sure, a digital autofocus camera might effortlessly take better pictures than we could with a manual focus old Nikon SLR. But what we learn composing the hands-on way might make us understand and appreciate the product of technology all the more. In this perhaps the book is just capturing something I imagine to be a flavor of Japan.https://ayurvedia.ch/boss-bv9960-manuala country with profound traditions, and incredible technological prowess.

Comic about young girl who like her dad job partner, so she decided she wants to learn statistics so her dad hired her a tutor, when learning starts.It is by no means a complete coverage of the topic but it breaks things down pretty easily.While some might find the romantic sub-story a bit out of the norm in some cultures, it's completely normal for Japanese manga. The book as a whole is a great explanation of statistics and statistical concepts, using visuals and explaining what statistical terms mean in ways that everyone can understand.It will be strikingly beneficial if the guide is targeted at real novice and beginners. One example is the fundamental motivation of calculating the standard deviation and what the standard deviation means or what it is suppose to do for the layman.It introduces the vocabulary and concepts with humor and energy. The examples are clear and relevant, and they help make the specialized vocabulary easier to remember.I actually have used it in my working life as it helps to explain statistics in terms that do not require a lot of mathematics knowledge.

It presents statistics as something fun, and something enlightening. It's a shame they didn't have fun books like The Manga Guide to Statistics back then.

The second re-read will make information flow smoother down the windpipe, and you may even catch small bits of info (in fine print) you missed out the first time. Even for people steeped in stats, they may not even understand statistics. The beauty of statistics is that you need not understand it in order to use it. This book attempts to explain statistics in a pattern-like way. You need to refer backwards to see how each chapter builds up on each other, and how the formulas are sometimes like patterns. The Manga did make it more lighthearted, but then it was also distracting. Still, a plus, because written manga-style makes a hard subject swallow much easier, no matter how you look at it. I have a inkling on how to benefit most from this book: Read it many many times, no matter what. But did I take my own advice. Well, I tried to, until the due date beckoned - I ended up paying a fine of 90c so I could re-read the book for a few more days. Don't be deceived that it is displayed as a comic - the compactness is even greater because there are fewer lines - pretty much concentrated statistics.

While this book is, quite naturally, too easy for the 'advanced' student, it's good as a supplementary for those new and confused to the world of statistics. One of those classes of artifacts is data. Tons and tons of data. How do we make sense of it all. What is worth looking at. Why is it worth looking at. What decisions can we make if we compile, analyze and distill the data we receive. More to the point, how do we analyze the data so that we can distill it. That’s where Statistics comes in handy. I’ll be blunt. I took one st One of those classes of artifacts is data. I’ll be blunt. I took one statistics class when I was in college. I hated it. In fact, I never finished it. Please understand when I say “I have an aversion to statistics as something I have to actually do”, I am not kidding.If I can’t make some sense of the data I receive, I can’t do as effective a job.It’s a core piece of domain knowledge any good software tester should possess, if not immediately, then at some point in their career. There are lots of ways to learn about Statistics, and frankly, most of them are a bit painful. College courses, text books, online videos, etc.What to do when you want to get the gist of the idea before you tackle the hairier details.A caveat: this should absolutely not be your only guide to learning statistics. If that’s what you are looking for, then this book will not deliver on that promise. It is, however a good primer to get you started, and help you look at statistics in a way that’s fun and engaging, especially if Manga tropes appeal to you. To set the stage, or protagonist, Rui, has a chat with the dreamy co-worker of her father (Mr. Igarashi) about understanding statistics. As Rui expresses interest to her dad about learning Statistics, he agrees to get her help. Rui creates a fantasy of being tutored by Mr. Igarashi, only to have her hopes dashed when an employee of her father, Mamoru Yamamoto (read, drawn to not be dreamy), comes to teach her about statistics. Hilarity ensues. There, that’s the Manga trope, and yes, “kawaii” abounds. If you are familiar with Manga, you know I’ve already spoken volumes about what to expect;). For those not familiar with Manga, the treatment of the topics are generally amusing, usually at the expense of dignity of either our protagonist or our long suffering tutor, but the light hearted humor is meant to help us relate to the material better. In between the story line, a number of key statistical analysis ideas and concepts are discussed, in a way that makes them accessible and quite a bit less scary than what normally appears in text books. It’s made accessible, but it’s not “watered down” or made to be trivial. The examples actually require the reader to understand some underlying mathematics concepts. If you’ve gotten through at least Intermediate Algebra, most of the math will be easy to follow. Chapter One focuses on understanding data types, and how we can more readily put terms like Categorical (Qualitative) Data and Numerical (Quantitative) data into aspects that more easy to understand (using a High School Slice-of-Life Manga Drama as the basis for the comparisons). By looking at examples like reader questionnaires, we get to the idea of what these data types are (categorical Data cannot be directly measured, while Numerical Data can be). It also shows how categorical data can be given a point value and treated as numerical data. Chapter Two gets more into numerical data and discusses some key statistics concepts, such as looking at Frequency Distributions and Histograms (conveniently described by looking for the the best ramen shop in the city, by varying definitions of “best”, and by comparing a team’s bowling scores). By looking at data points and other criteria, and examining how that criteria can be condensed into a table of values, Rui and Maoru show us how we can calculate Mean(or average), the Median (actual mid point of samples) and the standard deviation (the “fudge factor” of what’s been collected). Chapter Three goes into categorical data. By its nature, categorical data, or qualitative data, cannot be boiled down to a number as is, but there are ways that certain aspects of qualitative data can be categorized and that categorization can be made into quantitative (numeric) data and calculated. Using a cross tabulation, some numerical analysis can be performed, and therefore qualitative data can be measured, albeit imprecisely. Chapter Four goes into the ideas of Standard Score and Deviation Score, or how to look at a specific data point and see how it relates to the rest of your data, or how to examine data points in a variety of ranges or with different unites of measurement. Chapter Five talks about Probability, and the ways in which we can predict an outcome based on the data on hand (more correctly, make an educated guess as to the outcome, which is what Probability is meant to do).Data can be plotted on a graph, and that graph can be converted into a curve with enough data points. That curve (standard distribution) can be moved based on the mean and standard deviation. Using a number of different models (Normal distribution, Standard normal distribution, Chi-square distribution, t distribution and F distribution) we can make the curve “move”. By taking into account the way that the curve moves, we can calculate a ratio, or probability, which in turn can allow us to make a variety of predictions. Chapter Six looks at comparing the relationship, or correlation, between two variables. By charting variable values on a scatter plot, we can eyeball the values and see if we have a positive or negative correlation, or if there is little to no correlation. If we sense there is a correlation, we can use a variety of indexes (spelled out here as Correlation Coefficient for numerical-numerical data, Correlation Ratio for numeric-categorical data and Cramer’s Coefficient for categorical-categorical data) to determine the overall strength or weakness of that correlation. This chapter also points out that these indexes are “fuzzy”, but they are better than nothing. Chapter Seven examines Hypothesis tests, which are used to help clarify, or understand, if a hypothesis made by examining sample data is correct. We can test for independence of variables, if our tests are looking at variables in critical regions, and gives us examples as to how to perform a statistical analysis of those tests, and a variety of tests to see if variables are independent, homogeneous, and the degree in which they re either, both, or neither. Lather, rinse, repeat. The book closes with a Appendix that describes how to use Excel and set up the examples explained in the book, and how to get to the functions and create the formulas necessary to do the measurements described in the previous chapters. Bottom Line: Statistics can be fun, if you plot the story right. If following the antics of Rui and Mamoru sounds like a good time to you, and if gaining a fundamental understanding of some key statistics concepts is your end goal, then this is a nice format in which to learn those fundamental ideas. Note, I said “fundamental ideas”. Do not think that this would be an appropriate guide to say “OK, great, now I know all the statistics I need to know”. Granted, you may learn enough about statistics to be useful, and it may give you additional insights, but this is not an in depth study. Having said all that, for those who want to get into the nitty-gritty stuff, the Appendix about setting up tables and examples using statistical functions and formulas is worth the purchase price alone. Will her unrequited love for Mr. Igarashi remain as such. Will Mamoru be able to replace the spot in Rui’s heart where she hold an affection for Mr. Igarashi? Even if he does, is such a relationship just a little bit creepy. Ahh yes, all of this, and more shall be answered. For those who read manga, well, you probably already know the answers to all of those questions.For those curious as to whether or not a Manga can teach you a thing or three about statistics, the answer is “yes”, but you’ll need to look elsewhere to build on what’s covered here. As to my target market (i.e. my fellow software testers), if statistics is not your strong suit, this makes for a very practical introduction, and plenty of takeaways to make you just a bit more dangerous at work, and I mean that in the best possible way. I read it to get me into the subject since I'm taking it next year, and although there were some parts (especially near the end), where I got a bit lost, Yamamoto-san generally kept me on the same page throughout the entire book. I loved the friendly atmosphere and that fact that Rui seemed not to understand the parts that I did not understand-- it relieved me and kept me turning the pages (though I'll admit that I was also curious to see what Yam I read it to get me into the subject since I'm taking it next year, and although there were some parts (especially near the end), where I got a bit lost, Yamamoto-san generally kept me on the same page throughout the entire book. I loved the friendly atmosphere and that fact that Rui seemed not to understand the parts that I did not understand-- it relieved me and kept me turning the pages (though I'll admit that I was also curious to see what Yamamoto would look like without his glasses, because I figured the author would make him take them off at the end anyway). This has definitely motivated me to dive into more formal, in-depth Statistics books to prepare myself for school. Decided to take a look at it first to ensure that there was minimal scantily clad girls as can sometimes be found in manga. Fun way to teach a tough subject and entirely family friendly in tone. The boy did enjoy it, he read it in 2 days. He has already requested I pick up the guides to physics, microbiology and electricity as well. To be sure, this book has plenty of funny material in it. Unfortunately, the framing of this material is more than a little bit uncomfortable, as the heroine is a lovesick teenager who convinces her father to have one of his coworkers tutor her in statistics so that she can seduce a handsome executive at his company and ends up being disappointed initially that she is being taught by a nerdy but surprisingly eccentric (or unsurprisingly eccentric if y To be sure, this book has plenty of funny material in it. Unfortunately, the framing of this material is more than a little bit uncomfortable, as the heroine is a lovesick teenager who convinces her father to have one of his coworkers tutor her in statistics so that she can seduce a handsome executive at his company and ends up being disappointed initially that she is being taught by a nerdy but surprisingly eccentric (or unsurprisingly eccentric if you happen to know a lot of nerdy people) quant from her father's company who happens to be interested in a lot of the same things that she is and interested in her as well. Even though she is a high school student and he is at least in his 20's or 30's (the book does not explain exactly how old he is, but he is an adult and almost certainly a college graduate and he does not appear to be new on the job either, so he's at least a few years older than she is), this book views the budding romance between the two characters as unproblematic, and not the way it would likely appear in real life. This book is about 200 pages long (the usual for this series, at least from what I have seen so far), and is divided into seven chapters. After a preface and a prologue that explores statistics with heart-pounding excitement, the book begins with a determination of data types (1). After this there is an exploration of how to understand numerical data including distribution tables, measures of central tendency, and standard deviation (2). After this there is a brief discussion of categorical data and cross tabulations (3), which are vital in understanding political polls and their biases (not discussed in the book, notably). This leads to a discussion of standard score and deviation score (4) as well as how one obtains the probability based on normal and chi-square distributions of data (5). After this the book explores the relationship between two variables (6) for correlations as well as hypothesis tests that either reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis (7). The book then closes with an appendix that discusses how to calculate statistics using excel, something many people are proficient at or at least interested in exploring. It seems unlikely in real life that a business executive would invite a single and nerdy person to spend a lot of time tutoring a flirtatious teenage girl and spending a lot of time alone together. This book even shows such a compromising position happening at the very end of the story, leaving a cliffhanger as to what will happen afterwards, but in no way suggesting that what happened was at all inappropriate. There are definitely occasions, and this is one, where manga provides situations that are rather dangerous as being entirely okay, and leading readers down very dangerous paths of behavior if they are unaware of the risks and dangers that they are running into regardless of which character in the book they happen to more closely resemble. This book is one where not all of the lessons included are worth following, and some may be quite harrowing for the reader if they are imitated. It doesn't really help that I don't really need statistics in my day-to-day work, but it's hard to deny that every now and then situations arise where having a statistical toolbox would be very handy. My previous exposure to the subject is limited to one college statistics course which I took more years ago than I care to publicly admit, so, to extend the toolbox metaphor, the only It doesn't really help that I don't really need statistics in my day-to-day work, but it's hard to deny that every now and then situations arise where having a statistical toolbox would be very handy. My previous exposure to the subject is limited to one college statistics course which I took more years ago than I care to publicly admit, so, to extend the toolbox metaphor, the only tools my toolbox contains are a rusted-out hammer with a duck-taped handle, and a 9 mm caliper hex bit. But anyway, committing myself to trudging through a statistics book, even an entry-level one, was a daunting prospect which kept getting postponed year after year. after year. The Manga Guide to Statistics came recommended by a friend, who promised there is more to this book than meets the eye. That was kind of reassuring, since the first (well, the only) thing that met my eye was a kitschy parody of mathematical sciences, rather than a valid learning tool. Having now read the book, however, I am happy to report that my friend was correct. Will you know everything you need to know about statistics after perusing this tome. Absolutely not. You won't even learn that much, as a matter of fact. But if, like me, you were searching for an accessible entry (or re-entry) point to the field, this one will work nicely. While the book only covers the absolute very basics, it still manages to go sufficiently deep to serve as a springboard for further studies. Even if you don't understand everything in the text (which is doubtful, since everything is served to you pre-chewed), you'll at least familiarize (or, in my case, re-familiarize) yourself with the terminology and the general structure of the subject. Whichever book on statistics you are planning to read next, I'm confident that having read this one first will make understanding things a little easier. And how's the actual manga, you might ask. That, unfortunately, is not something I can help you with. Having been brought up in an environment where comic books (manga or otherwise) were neither accessible nor appreciated, and having thus retained a kind of a snotty attitude towards the genre in general, I am probably one of the least qualified people to judge the quality of that aspect. I found the story (which, believe it or not, is a love story) rather trite and predictable, but since its only purpose is to serve as a distraction to make the content less heavy, it's not that big of a deal. You didn't pick up a guide to statistics because you wanted to enjoy manga, did you? Nevertheless, it seemed quite basic and does not cover the material deeply enough. E.g. it explains Normal Distribution and Standard Normal Distribution.
