 AVOID July 22, 2008
The content is this book is awful. This book is for a low level statistics class and fails at teaching even the basic concepts. If you want to learn math with words instead of numbers and symbols this is the book for you. I would not recommend this book to anyone. A better buy is Mathematical Statistics with Applications Sixth Edition Wackerly, Mendenhall, Scheaffer. I had that book for my MATH 483 class and it was a breeze. Can you believe it I actually enjoyed my statistics class!
 Fulfils its purpose. April 21, 2008
This book is pretty well organized in terms of content. It also works especially well when used with the study guide you can purchase as a supplement.
 Great Buy! February 13, 2008

I recently purchased this book for an undergraduate class I am taking (Statistics). I was very pleased when my shipment arrived on time and in EXCELLENT condition. I would definitely purchase from this book seller and amazon.com again! Great products, great sellers, and even greater prices! What more can a girl ask for?!

This book was fast getting to me and in wonderful condition. I couldn't even tell it was used. Would definitaly order from them again. Thanks!
I mean, its stats February 4, 2008
I find this textbook to be a little expensive, but im guessing thats normal for these kinds of textbooks. Its a pretty good textbook with ALOT of sample problems and practice problems that helps (as long as you do them) I find that there are more practice problems/examples than explanations, so i sometimes refer to wikipedia/google for definitions, since i find that some terms/ideas/concepts arent explained that well.
They have some nice pictures, and good sample problems. I find the data they use for examples and sample problems to be very interesting. From sports stats, medical stats, population stats, pop culture stats...theres an interesting variety of sample data they give.
It might just be me, but im actually enjoying stats.
