3.0 out of 5 stars several wrong book answers, April 9, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Statistics Alive! (Paperback)
This book is great at explaining statistics to the newcomer. However, the book answers were provided as part of our on-line classroom exercises and practices, and many of them are wrong. I found myself trying to force my answers to conform with the answers provided by the book! Then had to email the professor to check my answers against the book's - most of the time I was right and the book answers were wrong! Someone wasn't checking - a shame, because the book itself is a wonderful resource. A very frustrating experience.

1.0 out of 5 stars Maybe if you are a Math Professor, December 18, 2011
This review is from: Statistics Alive! (Paperback)
I have had the misfortune of having my school update our graduate stats syllabus and this is the book they chose. I hope they got an amazing bulk deal for the bookstore because they obviously didn't choose it based on merit. I don't recommend this book in anyway. MANY of the practice problems give incorrect answers in the back of the book. The explanations of stats concepts and theories assume that you have knowledge that you don't have yet. I took undergrad stats 15 years ago and remember just enough to know that the explanations don't cover what I need to know (and confuse me). If you have math anxiety rest assured this book will throw you over the edge. I had to buy another stats book just to get through my course. I recommend Statistics: A Tool for Social Research There is no way I would have gotten through the course without it.
