Mainly skimmed, wish they went deeper into sampling errors.

As far as math textbooks go, they're boring but this is the only thing that got me the 90 in my university stats class. There was a huge language barrier between me and my prof but this textbook does a great job at explaining things and showcasing how something works through examples. However, I wish there was more definitions before examples began. I understand that some things are more conceptual than they are hard facts however clear definitions would have helped me when I took my notes. Overall, one of my better textbooks.

Clear language but convoluted presentation of some concepts

It was fine for the purpose of providing a basic intro to statistics, but for a $100 book, it had way more typos and errors than I would have expected.
