A Great Little Stat Book

I've taught an undergraduate statistics class in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of South Florida for a few years and found that this book works the best. Even students who tell me they have high math anxiety have enjoyed the text because it explains complex things in a simple and easy to understand way.

from an instructor

I have been taking and teaching statistical concepts for almost 10 years now and have never found a better, more concise intro to modern statistics. I sugggest that anyone trying to learn statistics have a copy of this valuable text.

The Best self help book on statistical concepts

Although this is an intro text, it is a programming text that trains the reader to comprehend basic statistical concepts. This is especially important if the users "think" they have a "math" problem. It clearly explains in a step by step fashion "how to do it".
