Necessary

The student manual is a great help to such a difficult subject. It not only shows the answers to the questions, but shows the process in which the answers were obtained. This book is a necessary item if you are using the textbook it was meant for. Definitely worth the price.

Great at explaining concepts!

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.

very good intro stats book

I think this is a great textbook. I have been reviewing texts for an AP statistics course and have settled on this book as a middle ground between very basic texts and rigorous textbooks for math majors.It is not intended for math majors. I don't understand why reviewers are criticizing it for it not being more rigorous.It has enough depth for intro undergrad stats, yet is adaptable to lower levels so some of the boneheads I have in high school can comprehend.Excellent explanations. Very readable. Decent problem sets. I approve.

An absolutely outstanding text for conceptual development in elementary statistics. - I'm currently taking a statistical analysis course, and, after having read the vast majority of the text, I've found it to be the most clear and intelligently written text on the undergraduate market. (I've read most of the competing texts and they really don't compare). Clear, to the point, lucid prose - explaining not only the calculations, but also the CONCEPTS BEHIND THE PROCEDURES, is what seperates this text from the others. A lot of books lose the reader in computational detail without clearly explaining the ideas behind the procedures. - This book clearly surpasses the others in its conceptual clarity and insight that it offers into critical ideas left out of most other elementary texts I've read. I actually went out and got this book after seeing how clearly superior it was in communicating critical ideas necessary to understand the subject - relative to the text that was assigned by the professor for the course. The doctrinaire critiques I've read about the book are, to me, entirely unfounded. If you're looking for a good conceptual foundation in elementary statistics, and calculations that illustrate the concepts, you won't find a better text on the market.

Great Book!

Having used another stat book before, I feel that this book does a great job of breaking down the proceedures step by step. I find the flow charts to be an invaluable help to understanding the subject. Having taken statistics for a total of 3 times, Once in another book and twice in this particular one, I have found that the difficulty of the material greatly depends on the professor. The only problems that have occurred using this text is in the rounding of numbers. Either the author is not following his own rules or the writers of the sample problems do not follow the authors rules. Possibly the rounding rules need more clarification in future editions.
