I think this is the best book for an introduction to Statistics. It explained concepts behind each test and the reasons to choose one test over another, in ways that were easy to understand. I like knowing the proofs or calculating by hand. Perhaps because that's the way I was educated. I also have "Statistics for people who hate Statistics" and I think it is absolute rubbish but it may be helpful for others. As a grad student however, this book has been very helpful to me

i love the way stats is explained in this book. it really makes life easier for me and helps me to grasp the theory and concepts behind ANOVA's , t-tests, etc.... i find myself constantly going back to this book for reference when my grad stats books were confusing... really wish grad level books were this good...
It is the most understandable statistics book for beginners

I have been using this book in my statistics classes since 1990. It is so easy to understand for undergraduate students. Authors give really good examples to explain some complex subjects of statistics. These examples make the book more readable..
I would recommend this book.
