 Something Missing September 2, 2008
The book itself is a wonderful learning tool and I have found nothing wrong with it or the CD. However, when purchasing the "new" book from Amazon.com I assumed that it also came with the online access codes for other material that the publishers have made available. However, I was sadly mistaken and after waiting for my book to arrive and then calling the publisher to get an access code I still had to go and buy the access online, costing me an additional $57 on top of what I had already spent on the book. Amazon should be more clear about what information will be accompanying the book for future perchasers, because instead of saving money for my college textbook I spent about $30 more than I should of had to.
 Problems with ActivStats CD June 21, 2008
I bought three brand new books with CDs from Amazon.com. The first CD was blank. The second CD was chipped and embedded in the book binding. The third CD was also blank. I mailed the books/CDs back to Amazon the same day so I know I wasn't sent the same blank CD.
I gave up on Amazon and ordered the book through Barnes and Noble and picked it up today. The CD in this fourth book is also blank. I plan on returning it tomorrow.
I have ordered a fifth book from Borders.
There is an issue with the CDs in this edition.
All the books I ordered are brand new. The book is great! The CD is the problem.
 An authoritative book written by master teachers May 5, 2008
As a long-time professor of statistics with experience teaching introductory statistics to hundreds of students over many years, using many textbooks, I want to go on record that this is a wonderful book. The authors are hugely prepared, both as far as the statistical concepts and methods are concerned, but also with respect to instruction. They have learned what to do, and what not to do; they have made difficult concepts as simple as is they can (remembering Einstein's great principle: every explanation should be as simple as possible, but not simpler). All the key concepts and methods that really need to be covered are here, and the book is tied to the real world by repeated references to meaningful applied problems. For years I despaired that I would never find a book that had the great qualities I wanted to see in a book that introduces statistics, but this book comes as close as any I have seen. You won't go wrong using this book to learn statistics, nor to teach it!
 intro Stats February 18, 2008
For a statistics text book, much less any text book, this one is an easy read. The CD-ROM that allows you to have interaction with the information is also helpful; however, it is difficult to always get help from the chapter info to answer the practice problems.
A good honest book about statistics January 24, 2008
First.. when I thought of taking stats.. I thought of boredom, bunch of boring data to process
but this book is not at all that. It s approach and explanation is pretty understandable & user friendly to use. After reading I began to know how to understand and process data/statistic.
The problems for each chapter is not a lot! which I like. But there are reasonable amount of practice problems at least 30# per chapter, which I think is sensible and realistic for college students.
