 Not a bad book March 16, 2003
Anthony Clark (Alexandria, VA USA)
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
First of all, I would like to say that this is not a bad book, but I personally found that many of the examples were a little hard to follow. I felt that in many cases steps seemed to be left out, and it was assumed that you would know how to get to these points in the examples that were shown in the book. Unfortunately in my case the professor teaching our statistics class really does not seem to care to follow the material in the book. He's not a bad buy, but I'm not so sure he should be teaching statistics. In addition we use Microsoft Excel and the Megastat add-in on some of the example problems. So what happens is that the answers I get vary depending on whether I follow the book, my professor, or the Megastat program. All of this adds up to massive confusion on my part, and on the part of my fellow classmates.
The Paperback, International Ed. is Great October 30, 2002

The paperback international edition is the best deal out there! It will save you a load of cash and is EXACTLY the same content wise as the hardback USA edition. As far as the quality of the textbook goes I'm not exactly a math minded person and this book seems to explain stuff fairly well or at least as good as Quantitative Methods can be explained.
 Excellent Book! June 3, 2002

Reading this Book helps anyone understand all Basic Statistics; this allows continue with more advanced textbooks. I recommend it to all, who need to start up with essential statistics and need a friendly, introductory but very efficient approach!
Clearly the best for undergraduate students July 31, 2000

I have never been interested in reading a statistic textbook,simply because most of them are boring and totally confusing, but AIMR recommended this book as the official reading for year 1999. When I have a copy of this book for my study, I was surprised. The book explains many statistic concepts in clear, plain English without many confusing terms. It describes the concepts step by steps, coupled with many interesting examples. So far the best statistic textbook I've ever read. It is good for undergraduate, but I believe it is good for graduate students too.
Best Undergraduate Statistics book available July 11, 2000

As an undergraduate and graduate statistics faculty, I have read and taught from many different statistics books (at least a dozen by a quick count). This book by Mason, et.al. is superior to all and far superior to many (including many texts used for graduate business statistics).It is clearly written, well organized, and does not use up a lot of space with massive amounts of output from statistics packages that one will not use outside of the classroom. I have recommended it many times to students as an alternate to the extant class textbook, for all of the graduate and undergraduate business statistics classes that I teach.
