Statistics 2 for Dummies is a well-written and easy-to-understand text which can be easily used in both the classroom and as a secondary reference source. Deborah Rumsey presents plenty of examples along with sufficient clear explanation to help the reader move from one level to the next. Someone well motivated can use this text to learn the basics for more advanced statistics; however, this text would be even more useful with a knowledgeable and patient instructor. I would suggest making one significant change for future editions. The author relies on the Minitab software package when discussing the use of computer aided statistical analysis. There are better, and often cheaper, software packages available for the user. Students will most likely have PASW, formally SPSS, available at most institutions of higher education. In addition, desertcart and many other retail outlets selling to students and faculty will have relatively inexpensive versions of this more powerful software available. While Minitab remains a viable option, and is certainly usable where available, I would recommend that in the next edition the author include instruction for the more popular PASW software package. Similarly, the program Mathematica should be at least mentioned in the text discussing computer aided statistical analysis, especially since this is a top choice for many in mathematics, economics, and many sciences. Rumsey's book does a very good job in tackling the types of regression in the use in making predictions. In addition the section covering nonparametric methods is very useful. As expected, these are advanced methods for statistical analysis, and the author assumes a moderately strong understanding of basic statistics. Fortunately, the author also refer to her first book, statistics one, to help guide the reader for remedial study. As a professor the book's greatest advantage is its relatively low price, something very important to today student. It is relatively easy to read, which makes the learning experience better. One item worth noting is the absence of exercises or material to test the reader's understanding. It would be easier to select this book for use in the classroom if such material were included or readily available from the publisher. Since this text appears to be primarily for the consumer market adding such material to the book would likely raise the price and defeat the purpose of the Dummies line of books. Based on this I typically use this book as a recommended reading and reference for my students. Review: Useful book. - It's a great book, covers most important topics of statistic in a clear and understandable way. Highly recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,539,896 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,755 in Statistics (Books) #4,076 in Probability & Statistics (Books) #98,266 in Schools & Teaching (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 285 Reviews | ## Images ![Statistics II For Dummies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81K5D1N3LeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful for Class and Reference *by C***D on December 19, 2010* I teach statistics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very understandable sampling of upper level statistics topics. *by R***R on March 27, 2014* This is a great book. I'm currently taking a few college level statistics classes and this really helps to give you something to build on, especially if the books your using are overly complicated and are giving you a hard time getting off on the right foot. You can read through the complete section on the topic of your choice in probably an hour and a half. You might be able to perform a few basic tests for a humanities class based on whats presented here, but you won't be able to provide a really strong analysis for upper level stat courses or journal or anything. For example, the regression section doesn't get into dummy variables, or higher order multiple nonlinear models, etc. For ANOVA tests, instead of just eyeballing the normality and equal variance assumptions, you could perform an Anderson Darling test in Minitab or a Levene's test for equal variance. However, this book isn't meant to have everything there is to know, and what it does provide does a great job of presenting everything in an understandable manner. If this author were to write a more thorough book on some of theses topics in the same manner, I would seriously consider buying them as well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/4407305-statistics-ii-for-dummies](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/4407305-statistics-ii-for-dummies) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
