An easy to comprehend introduction to statistics

I used this book as a primary source for my MBA course in statistics and found the book easy to comprehend and well written. In my opition, the book targets a reader who can devote time required to move from section to section to uncover the facinating coverage of the non-trivial subject of statistics and to work on examples. I highly recommend the book to those who want to grain strong comprehension of the basic statistics.

Excellent Introductory Text

This text provides a thorough introduction to the use of mathematical statistics. Carefully reading the text and solving a reasonable number of the problems will provide one with the capability to apply statistical techniques to analyze data and draw conclusions in real applications. The book is strong on examples but light on theory. Particulary noteworhty is the inclusion of several topics (such as Monte Carlo methods and Bayesian decision theory) that typically are not covered in an introductory presentation. Also useful are the end of chapter "Final Challenges" that require the reader to have mastered the material. If one's objective is to apply statistics to draw appropriate inferences and make decisions, this text will provide the reader with the required tools.

Best Introductory text out there

I personally taught out of this text on 3 occasions and consider it to be the single best introductory statistics book ever written, period.
