3.0 out of 5 stars full of wrong answers
The textbook is good, but despite so many editions is full of mistakes (mainly the statistical exercises). For the price you would expect this book to be perfect.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible printing, January 26, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Statistical Reasoning for the Behavioral Sciences (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
I'm terribly disappointed with this textbook. It looked like copies were made from copies of copies of the hardback version on an office copy machine. (No, I did not accidentally put too many 'copies' in that last sentence.) Some of the pages were crooked and the text quality was very poor. I expect a lot more for $170. This was not a single copy problem. I exchanged my first copy for a second one that was just the same. In the end I rented a hardback copy from elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars Get the used hardbound, and verify formulas, December 14, 2011

This review is from: Statistical Reasoning for the Behavioral Sciences (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
This book is way overpriced. I've had mine for a semester and the binding is cracked. In addition, a couple pages are missing (as in were never there), including a table from the back of the book needed for the exercises in a couple chapters. The other reviewers mention the errors, which aren't as big a deal if you're using the book in a course (your instructor will make corrections).

The strength of the book is a pretty clear exposition of the standard statistical techniques for basic experimental designs. It doesn't assume any mathematical aptitude, so is a little too basic if you have had some calculus. It is written for the student of social sciences. Also in some sections the text refers to a student supplement for the formulas to use. I would not recommend this for self study due to the errors and need for the student supplement.
