This is a very readable and useable text for undergraduates, business students, and general readers who want to learn or brush-up on basic statistics. There is a tremendous amount of information in its 1200 pages, but it is well laid out, amply illustrated, with lots of practical work. The answers to the odd numbered questions are provided in the back to aid self-study. There are several appendices that provide important tables and the methods for calculating important statistical formulas. The index is also quite helpful.

I think the book has a good balance of the technical with the practical. It is easy on the eyes and though statistics necessitates the use of a significant amount of math, it is well explained and never overwhelms the reader.

I did not have much statistics background while in undergrad or through my job experiences and found this book to be quite easy to understand. The problems at the end of the chapters were quite useful in that they seemed applicable to the real world. I thought the most useful section was on regression so if you are interested in learning about that topic, this textbook is quite useful.

Very good text book with very useful and practical real cases, which make the boring theory interesting. I think it is very useful for my job and daily life.

Book was in great condition! Looked pretty new. Got it for a good price! would buy from again! :)

This was a mandatory textbook purchase and it was interesting and valuable during the course.

This book convinced me I will never buy a book for school again. I pay $80 for a book and never open it.

If you go to class you never need a book.
