If you are looking for a statistics book that explains things in a simple and elementary way, this book is for you! Additionally, the problems are straightforward. However, it requires that you know calculus I for some of the problems. It also has computer applications that you can practice. The only drawback is that the probability chapter is skimpy. You may want to supplement your knowledge of probability with another book, since statistics requires that you know probability first.

I think this book is very good for grasping the concepts and intuition behind the mathematical formalisms. Perhaps it should be used with another more theoretical book (Meyer, for instance). It is useful not only for engineering students.

Good book to learn from if you have the required background. As both a mathematician and a meteorologist, I plan on using this book a lot!

This was for a masters level engineering statistics class. It wasn't a lot of fun. But the book was fine.

The book itself is good, but since is is like 800 pages and a paperback, the book split in two midway through the semester and just continued to get worse. So, now I can't sell it back because it is in such bad condition. This heavy and thick of a book should always be hardcover.

The book arrived quickly and for being listed as used it came in new condition! Thankyou.

The author adds unnecessary confusion by ignoring variable naming conventions. In some places he uses "y" as the independent variable name, while in other places, he uses "x". I have never seen f(y) on the vertical axes but yet the author uses P(y) on the vertical axes. It seems the only equation he got correct, according to convention, was the historical y=mx+b. This book should be dreastically updated to conform to standard variable naming conventions. After eliminating the variable naming confusion, I think this book will be an excellent book to read and learn

Book is in perfect condition. The price was the lowest I found. Shipped in a quick manner. Very pleased.
