Anticipation June 29, 2009
Braithwaite "Sir"
I am excited to use this book in our home school because it was recommended to me by a colleague of a friend who teaches Stats at a community college. I hear it is one of the most easily understood texts available on this topic and am hopeful that it turns out to be as such. One word of caution though: the MyMathLab/MyStatLab Student Access Kit only offers PARTIAL access if you are using the textbook independent of a school with instructor because the instructor has to set up an account for his/her class. Additionally, the acccess is good for one year.
 Overly-long text dependent on technology May 4, 2009

Elementary Statistics with Multimedia Study Guide is just like any other textbook. The new edition is hardly different from the previous, save for a few pictures and different figures in the word problems. The only justification for purchasing the 10th is so the publisher can make more money selling new books.
More importantly, the Triolla's text is far longer than it needs to be. A solid Elementary Statistics text should be no more than 300 pages. Instead, we have this 900-page behemoth loaded with more variations of formulas that will not be used for 99% of statistics students. In my class we went up to Chapter 10, many will not make it even there. There are four additional chapters each with supplemental material concerning the use of technology. This adds to the weight and price of the book, needlessly. While there are some problems that cannot be done accurately without Microsoft Excel or a graphing calculator, these are mainly toward the final fourth of the text, which most classes will never get to anyway.
There are plenty of supplemental guides that can be used as stand-alone texts to much greater effect in Elm. Statistics. I do not doubt Triolla's mastery or passion for the subject, but he has fallen victim to demands in the college publishing industry for fatter books with software packages and jazzy websites that go along. None of this is required for mastery of the subject. It's just a way to make more money off struggling students. If you must buy this, I recommend purchasing used or an older, less 'weighty' version.

For my course, a "My Math Lab" access card is required, which most math classes now require with the textbooks. So, buying this book at school would have included the "My Math Lab" access card, but I found the book for about $10 cheaper on Amazon so I bought it but the my math lab wasn't included. So I had to spend another $60 for the access card itself! SUCKS!
