About the Book

In our daily lives, we are constantly encountering and interpreting an increasing volume of statistical information. While complex symbols often make statistics feel intimidating, understanding these concepts is essential. This book aims to demystify the subject by explaining key principles in non-technical language.

By using everyday examples and accessible tools—such as Excel and basic calculators—the author makes statistics approachable for everyone. While advanced concepts are included, they have been placed at the end of the book to ensure a smooth learning curve. Additional resources can be found in the appendix. To ensure the content remains current, this book will be updated frequently during its first few years. Your feedback is highly valued; please share your thoughts at Palash.Basak@gmail.com.
