Without a skilled teacher this book makes for better kindling than it does a reference to Elementary Statistics. As a first time statistics student, I found myself reading passages and coming up more confused than I went in. Thankfully my teacher bean teaching from another book, and giving us printouts that better explained the theories and why the formulas were constructed. If you are an instructor looking for an effective textbook for your class, keep moving. You'll spend more time correcting the books inept writings for your students clarification than actually teaching.

What a joke.

You'd better have an excellent teacher for a stat class that uses this book. Unfortunately, I didn't have a good teacher and can speak from experience: If you don't have an excellent instructor, you'll be drowning in functions and have no clear picture when to use what function. Didn't retain a thing, aside from some basic methodology.

This book was far more instructive than my professor, however through much due diligence, I managed an A. Good examples and the methods used to highlight definitions, key terms, and formulas was helpful.

This was good. Though without the teacher I wouldn't have understood squat.

DONE DONE DONE DONE (unless I flunked). Don't want to open this sucker again! Ahhh fiction, come find me and distract me from pdf and cdf functions! I await thee!

I can't really say much for this book. We really just used it for homework problems.
