This textbook is a decent introduction to statistics. Usually as an introduction text, its a mile wide and an inch deep. This textbook is no different, you'll learn everything from graphs and charts, to various types of distribution. The CD that comes with the textbook is confusing, but it did have one pdf with a summary of formulas for each chapter which was extremely helpful. The only major problem with this textbook is the problems. They are simply too predictable and often won't prepare you for the real world or even worse... an exam. Overall, this is a decent introductory textbook, not the worst but also not the best on the subject. Its done to earth and the beginner should have no problem picking it up. One final note, it also contains guides on how to use the statistics function on the TI-83, which is almost a must have if you plan on learning from this textbook.

This was a book recommended to me for a class and when compared to some of the other statistics books out there is has some of the best examples and steps for solving problems.

One of the BEST books on using data to produced statistically based decisions. Book takes you through the nuances of this procedure,and makes sure that you avoid the pitfalls of bad science.

Very disappointed with this seller. He did not inform me that he sold the book I purchased to another person until I contacted him, a month after I purchased it. I strongly reccommend not to buy any product from this person even though it may be cheaper than other items.

amazon rejected my first review of this book.

i am guessing that i used some bad language to describe how bad i think this book is.

the examples are contrived and silly.

i found the writing style pedantic.

i promise i won't use the word "drivel" in any more reviews!

The product in question was shipped in a timely manner and met quality standards as described by the seller. I am very satisfied with my product and would definitely buy from the seller again.

Overall, this is a great book. I have just started using is but it's a very good book for new comers to statistics like me.

I received the textbook in a timely manner. It was exactly what was stated.
