If you are an undergraduate in a probability and statistics course I think a better selection would be Schaum's Outline of Probability and Statistics, 3/E (Schaum's Outline Series) in conjunction with your textbook. That is a thorough investigation of introductory probability and statistics. This book is for the serious student of statistics that is ready to investigate subjects such as detection and estimation theory, curve fitting, and more. In fact, if you are planning on studying Estimation and Detection Theory on the graduate level, I recommend getting this outline and going through it prior to entering the formal course. It will make a big difference in your comprehension of the subject matter.
I keep this book around as a reference and a refresher on subjects I have forgotten. If you already have a basic understanding of statistics and you just want to know more, this makes a great and inexpensive textbook. It is certainly much better than the expensive hardcover texts on the subject that I have run across.
Very Useful December 4, 2008

If you are just learning about statistics, this book cannot be used as a primary text. The main audience of this rather useful workbook are students who are currently taking or just finished a statistics course; or, those who actually need to do real world calculations.
Like all other books in this series, each chapter has an introductory essay of varying clarity and usefulness, many fully worked out examples, and many supplementary questions with the answers in the back.
For those who are having trouble with a particular aspect of statistics, or in search of refresher material, the usefulness of this book is rather more variable. Some chapters have good, clear explanations, while others just present equations and procedures for solving them using various sets of data.
I find this book to be quite useful, especially the chapters on time series and index numbers.
Effective refresher ... Efficient reference January 7, 2007

I bought this book as a study aid for my Elementary Statistics class. Although the book does give you many examples to help solve, it gets a little too complicated for a beginning statistics class. It became hard to sort through the things I needed to gain a basic understanding of the fundamentals of statistics. If you are needing this book for your job or a more advanced statistics course, I would recommend it, but it's one for the beginner to leave alone.
