This makes the text especially useful for those in health-science fields who have not taken a biostatistics course before.

With an engaging and conversational tone, Intuitive Biostatistics provides a clear introduction to statistics for undergraduate and graduate students and also serves as a statistics refresher for working scientists ER -
