When I furst purchased this book at my local bookstore, I coud not believe that the cost surpassed $100. After returning it and buying a used copy on amazon, I could not believe the condition it was in. It was "like new" just as my seller claimed it to be.

This book is really a masterpiece when it comes to explaining the concepts! The author makes sure that students don't just memorize formulas, but rather that they understand why the formulas work. I used this book to pass the DANTES statistic exam.

This book is not very user friendly. If you have troubles with math like me then this book is not for you. I would probably recommend a book like "for dummies, or a schuam's at the beginnnig level then reread this book, and it will be a little clearer.
Good book but a few suggestions! September 3, 2005

This book is written by an expert in Statistics and most explanations are written in easy enough language for the introductory student (like me!), although I have to confess to struggling to understand some of the concepts sometimes. If you are as 'rusty' a student as me, I strongly recommend another little inexpensive paperback book as an additional aid to this one: Teach Yourself Statistics. I was also surprised that in the beginning of the book, in Chapter 2 on graphing, that the technical tips section at the end of the chapter referred you to a supplemental manual you'd have to purchase. At this price, I was especially surprised since the book is promoted as having the technology info for Excel & TI-83 included (and if graphing isn't one of the most basic concepts to learn in Introduction to Statistics, what is?). If there was no way to include the actual information in the technical tips sections- my suggestion to the author is to consider having the manual included as a 'package'.

If you ever wanted a Stats book that was EASY to understand buy this one! I did very well in this course and I honestly learned with this book. Explanations are wonderful! The disk makes life simple.
