This Paperback edition is the solutions manual NOT the text book

This is the leading introductory statistics book in the US. In response to the comment from the reader in southwest ILL, the use of the Z test instead of the t is NOT wrong. Many of the leading statistics textbooks use the exact same approach. This text has been carefully reviewed for correctness by statisticians before publication.

My professor(who is a statistician) pointed out several problems in this text. Some times he was just in awe of the serious mistakes and liberties taken in this book. One that comes to mind is Mario's use of the Z-test when (in certain circumstances) really it would have been more accurate to use the T-test. Also, there are many little mistakes that should have been corrected by the seventh edition (in some of the examples etc). The book is okay if your just taking the course for a general ed. requirement...My professor, who himself has authored many high-level math textbooks found the book to be problematic. Perhaps there is a difference of opinion on the Z- versus t-test. Hopefully, the little mistakes (that aren't controversial) will be corrected before any new editions are published!

I think Amazon.com is more expensive than bookstore that I went to, so if you find out, please reduce price.
 Excellent text for a intro course in stats. July 28, 1998

I found this book to be user friendly with regards to learning statistical foundations. Concepts are presented in a clear understandable format. The use of Margin Essays describing real uses with people in their respective fields of employment were an enormous asset. I found this book to be very helpful with instructor/student interaction.
