Best introductory statistics book to develop intuitive grasp of topic?
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=269387What's a good introductory statistics book? I've found a few but they suffer from one of two faults:
* One type glosses over everything and just spits out a bunch of formulas that you are supposed to apply. There's no thought given to explaining the conceptual understanding...such as WHY confidence intervals vary as the square root of sample size.
* Another type is made for theoretical math majors and is based on extremely rigorous proofs of arcane details which I'm not interested in.
Is there a good book that strikes a balance and teaches me an intuitive grasp of statistics? I'm already very familiar with probability.
