1.0 out of 5 stars
Difficult,
By Traci S. (Cleveland,OH) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Basic Biostatistics: Statistics for Public Health Practice (Paperback)
This has go to the most confusing book I have ever had. If you are not familiar with statistics and it is not my favorite subject, you will be lost. The format is confusing. Would not have been my first choice as the text for a biostats class.
4.0 out of 5 stars

Product as advertised in good condition. The book arrived at the estimated time provided. I was concerned that the book was not brand new, however all pages were in great condition.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Not a good text book for a beginner,
By Catherine D. Burke (Olney, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Basic Biostatistics (Paperback)
This book was the most confusing text book I think I've ever read. As a beginner to stats it is a terrible book. Concepts are interrupted from one chapter and then picked up again in another, there a mistakes in the book - simple math errors, which were probably typos. I have relied more on the internet and the stats for dummies series to get through my course. I do not recommend this book for online courses especially - it is not a self teaching kind of book.
