For students wanting to save paper and read on the go, DO NOT BUY the e-book version of this text. Amazon.com has mislabeled the item as the fourth edition of "Statistics for People..." The e-book is actually an old version of the Excel Edition, which differs substantially from the title advertised on the page.

This book was easy to understand. If your focus of study is Statistics this book may not provide you with enough information to interpret your results as in depth as you need to. If you are taking a stats class as a requirement for an unrelated degree, you will love it. I made it through graduate level Educational Statistics with a comfortable "A".

This book has helped me understand certain details that in class were a little bit confusing. The book is easy to read and understand.

This book was "recommended" by my stats professor in addition to a pre-published textbook he is currently writing. It's been very helpful b/c it's easy to read, concise, and is a nice addition to the textbook pages.

I wish I had this book earlier. He explains statistics clearly and with a very needed sense of humor. His examples are precise and include both calculations by hand and with SPSS19. The layout of chapters progresses nicely without overwhelming with too many concepts at once.

I love it. This is also entertaining to read. I am gaining a greater understanding of statistics now than I ever did while in college. I strongly recommend this for people who are intimidated by the very word.

This book is great for understanding the basic foundations of statistics. It is not equivalent to a textbook (in my opinion), but it's great for gaining an understanding of the basic principles involved. There isn't much (or any) math involved at all. Good starter book for stats.
