I picked this book (sixth edition) from many others after watching my daughter struggling with Mario Triola's Elementary Statistics that her teacher used in the classroom. I wish Weiss's Statistics was her (and mine) first encounter with the subject. The book is well written and structured, easy understandable, and at the same time interesting and engaging to learn more. My daughter found it very helpful. I also enjoyed reading the book; it helped me to put my knowledge in order and finally understand the logic behind different hypothesis tests and other statistical concepts. If you always wanted to learn basic statistics just read this one book and you will be surprised to discover that learning and applying statistics can be easy and fun (do exercises!).

I can not say enough about this book I have never taken a class in statistics for fear that I would fail it .However, this book mapped it out so well if you fail the class it won't be because of this product.My first grade was a 94%, which is great for a person who hates math. I breezed through the class with this book. purchase it you will not be sorry.

I did an independent stats class after being out of math for a long time, the book was very helpful and I could actually figure the formulas. It was great!!
