This book aims to make stats approachable by combining clear explanations with practical applications. Joseph Schmuller shows how to download and use R and RStudio - two free, open-source tools - to learn statistics concepts, create graphs, test hypotheses, and draw meaningful conclusions. The book starts with the basics of statistics and R, and goes on to show how to calculate descriptive statistics, and use inferential statistics to test hypotheses. Then, visualize it all with graphs and charts.
