You're Smarter Than You Think: Statistics

Safaa Dabagh

You're Smarter Than You Think: Statistics is a free, openly licensed introduction to statistics written for community college students and designed from the ground up for neurodivergent and anxious learners. Every section follows the same six-step rhythm (Read This First, Let's Talk About It, Now We Name It, Watch It Work, Your Turn, Check Your Voice), and every chapter opens with a Math Skills warm-up so a missing arithmetic step never derails a big idea. The book is organized around the student learning outcomes shared by community college statistics courses: describing data, estimating with confidence, and testing claims. It covers data and sampling, graphs, center and spread, probability, distributions, the Central Limit Theorem, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, two-sample tests, ANOVA, chi-square, and regression. Four free technology companions (R and RStudio, jamovi, StatCrunch, and the TI-84) carry every method into whatever software a course uses, each keyed chapter by chapter and packaged with ready-made datasets. Graphs, a printable workspace, answer keys, per-part formula sheets, and cumulative final-exam prep are included throughout.
