"Statistical Misconceptions ... covers important information that other texts do not: understanding the misconceptions and not making decisions based on the misconceptions is extremely important in order to utilize statistics in helpful and meaningful ways. The writing style is very clear and concise being at an accessible level to both undergraduate and graduate students. ... This text ... has significantly contributed to the literature. Huck’s text has been used as a supplement in statistics courses to help students learn correct understandings of the different statistics. … The book is grounded in current application and has assisted many researchers, students, and statisticians in understanding important aspects of statistics." – Nancy Leech, University of Denver, USA "Using a five-step approach, Schuyler Huck skillfully dispels 52 common statistical misconceptions on descriptive as well as inferential statistics. It is a valuable book for both instructors -- for detecting where and how misconceptions might arise -- and students -- to strengthen their correct understanding of key statistical concepts. … The "undoing the misconception" step is very effective in helping to consolidate the correct grasp of concepts. … In sum, Huck's book is a great book for everyone." - Carla Martins, School of Psychology, University of Minho, Braga, Portugal
