5.0 out of 5 stars Worthy of use as a textbook in basic statistics, March 13, 2006

This review is from: Elementary Statistics (with Students Suite & Video Skillbuider CD-ROMs) (10th Edition) (Hardcover)

I am regularly examining a large number of books in various areas, looking for the "best textbook." In the areas of basic mathematics up through calculus, there is a generic sameness to nearly all of them. Basic statistics is one of those areas and this book is pretty much in the mold of the others. The coverage, both in content and in order, fits what could be considered the basic statistics template. There are a large number of exercises, and solutions to the odd-numbered ones are included in an appendix.
The pages are of very high quality and there are a large number of diagrams. It is very easy on the eyes and in basic statistics, the higher the number of diagrams the better. The quality of the writing is on the higher end of the spectrum, which is a significant point of positive differentiation. While I have to make the final decision, it is likely that I will use this as the textbook in my statistics class this summer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unacceptable Typographical Errors, February 9, 2011

By 

Henry Gertzman - See all my reviews

This review is from: Elementary Statistics (with Students Suite & Video Skillbuider CD-ROMs) (10th Edition) (Hardcover)

Even though this is the TENTH EDITION of this book, it has several inexcuseable typographical errors! For example, on page 85, the equation for the mean has the wrong denominator. On page 88, the equation for the variance has a missing denominator. This is sloppiness of the highest order. I would never recommend this book to anyone and I would be embarassed if I were either of the authors.

This review is from: Elementary Statistics (with Students Suite & Video Skillbuider CD-ROMs) (10th Edition) (Hardcover)

I did not like this book. It is called "Elementary" statistics but does not provide elementary(SIMPLE) examples or steps to problems for those students who have never had statistics before. I personally think its a hard read. The definitions provided are fine but the math steps could be simpler. The student suite that came with it did not work in my computer( don't know why). I just wish I would have had a chance to see it Before purchasing. I still love Amazon though!

Thanks.
