Statistic Manuel

I had no problem getting this book. It came on time and Its been helpfull with my class.

Awesome Deal !!!!

I bought this book in big hurry as my classes had already started and I had to keep up with the assignments. Though the book arrived late despite I had paid for instant delivery, I was totally satisfied after receiving the book. It was in the same condition as described by the seller. Thank you for the book.

I ordered a new book so therefore it came in excellent condition. It was received earlier than expected

Nearly flawless book in introductory statistics.

I found this introductory statistics textbook as a very appropriate companion when taking an intro statistics course. The author does a good job on making concepts clear with definitions along with detailed examples. The selected answers in the back of the book unfortunately are not detailed and do not give the student steps on how the answer was derived. The printouts of software experiments using SAS, SPSS, MINITAB, etc, in the text, I found very useful and supplemental in learning the material. It clearly describes and shows the steps on how the projects were performed on the specified software application.Unfortunately, the companion CD-ROM was a disappointment. Rather than being full of clear and well thought out examples and definitions, it instead contains some bland text along with confusing examples. Besides the companion CD-ROM, the textbook itself is well planned out with clearly written text and straightforward examples.

This is a "must have" book for a new student in statistics.

This book removes all those fearsome notions about statistics. The topics presented are sequential, well organized and easy to understand.Case studies are helpful in associating learned concepts to real world applications. Examples from various statistical packages give students a flavor of how computer generates statistical reports.Examples with solutions guide students toward step by step understanding of concepts involved. Overall, this is an excellent book for all those students who really want to get serious about statistics.
