Default Help sought in Statistics

Salam to everyone!

I have opted for statistics as on of my optionals. I took a course of it during my last degree but only about probability and few distributions.

I have been suggested by someone that Bsc books by Sher Muhammad Chaudry are enough for prep. Can anyone on help me in this regard to recommend books?

Also from where can I get some material about Application of Statistics in various fields as it is not given in Chaudry's books.

Waiting for help....

I have no idea about PCS-NWFP but hope the following links will help you.

If you really want to learn Statistics then please never ever study from books by Pakistani or Indian writers.
Yes, I know they are easier to understand and they have enough stuff to get us through the ordeal of exam.
They are low cost too and easily available. But still don't touch them.

You can pass the exam with local books. But talk about real expertise and understanding of statics!
Foreign books will help you getting equipped with powerful set of tools namely logical reasoning and problem solving skills.

Books on Statistics from foreign writers will improve your analytical thinking capacity. You will have sound concepts.
Most importantly you will learn how to apply Statistical tools to analyse and solve a problem.

Having sound knowledge, good concepts, and powerful skills is more important than passing any exam.
I mean at least while studying we shouldn't look for an easy way out.

Well, enough of the grandfatherly chat, discussion on local books is given below

Hope it helps!
