“Principles of Statistics” by M.G. Bulmer
How to Lie With Statistics_ (which was featured in the Finance & Analysis category) is about how to avoid misusing statistics in daily life. In contrast, *_Principles of Statistics is a an uncommonly useful primer on how to actually use your own data to perform basic and intermediate statistical calculations, comparisons, and analyses.*
In this short but comprehensive book, M.G. Bulmer blends theory with practical examples to introduce the reader to intermediate statistics. Subjects include the concept of probability, random variables, probability distributions, expected values, tests of significance, statistical inference, point estimation, regression, and correlation.
If you’re responsible for using statistics in your current job, you can’t find a better reference text than Principles of Statistics.
