 Rating:  - Convoluted This is probably the worst text book I have ever used. Like the previous reviewers mentioned, there are very few "worked-out" problems. They give plenty of examples, but few solutions. Also, the example problems in this book are complicated and involve large data sets. The book fails to transition smoothly from the conceptual to the practical.

Data sets are unnecessarily ... Read More Rating: - Few worked examples makes it a weak choice for text in a basic statistics classI have used the earlier editions of this book in my basic statistics class, not because I think it is a good text, but because that was what was in use when I arrived. I personally don't consider it a good text because there are few worked examples. To compensate, I generally hand out a set of problems at the start of class and then work through them in a step-by-step manner. This text, while containing more detail than the previous iterations, follows the same path. For example, the formula for ... Read More
