It's a great book for Statistics. I only have to read the chapters once, read through the problems, then try a few. They make it pretty easy to catch on if you're willing to practice the material and are focused on learning. It has a CD in the back that I never use and it's been pre-used but it's still a great book. I've become a bit attached. I decided to buy it because it was required for my college Statistics course.
I had to buy it for my Q Sci class and it's been very useful. I like that definitions and equations are clearly labeled in colored boxes and the examples are extremely useful and easy to understand. Plenty of practice problems and each section has some good practice problems at the end. There's nothing wrong with the book or how the information is demonstrated...I just don't like statistics. Would buy product again.
Diverse Problem sets, easy to grasp examples. Overall good textbook for a beginner to Probability and Stat. Suitable for advanced high school or community college level. It is not as rigorous comparing to a textbook for a 4 year uni.
Do not buy an international version of a school book as I was misled into doing. The pages are thin, the ink smears easy and it is not the same quality as the book made for US students. I will NEVER buy one again.. READ the description carefully because there are a ton of books being sold on Ebay that are not meant for the US or Canada. If the book is offered by World of Books, beware, refund charge is very high and has a short period to get it done.
This book is excellent, very easy to read, the material is presented the way it should be with minimum "fluff" or "filler." The quizzes to test and sharpen your knowledge are good, and there are plenty of them, one for each section, plus a cumulative one after each chapter on everything so far, plus a chapter quiz. I think those are important for studying and this book did everything right.
