Very great book. The chapters are short, concise and to the point. The solved examples are really good and simple and gradually takes you to more advanced level. The exercises following each section are very well placed. I like this book, but it's not the best in the field, though. It's very good for business and economics, however.

This book was pretty bad at explaining key concepts, and had typos in very important descriptions and formulas. I'm not really a harsh judge of textbooks, but this one was terrible.

This textbook explained the theory and problems clearly and easy to understand

Yet another piece of real gem...!! The simplicity in explaining the rather complex concepts is amazing...!! I did find some errors too though at a few places but in the grand scheme of things and as a careful reader, you would want to ignore them. The more important thing is how well it builds the foundation of the concepts and I was so thankful I read some topics. In fact, I used this to revise some of the concepts which I had already learned from other books, or at least I thought I did. It was only when I started going through the same topics in this book that I realized where I had gaps in my understanding. I am quite confident I will revise my concepts again with this book.

I highly recommend this book to anybody who want to understand statistics beyond just a bunch of formulae. Very useful for aspiring data scientists as well who would want solid understanding about some key statistical concepts such as sampling distributions, confidence intervals, p-value and so many other similar concepts.

3.5 stars. Mixed review on this one. The book was fairly easy to grasp the concepts and calculations, and for statistics that is quite an accomplishment, but there were a few times that I found errors in the book, either with just misplaced wording, or the answers in the back had the wrong calculation or the wrong numbers used in part of the calculation. This threw me through a loop a few times thinking I had done something wrong, but I either found the error, or just moved onto the next answer and all was good.

I'd still recommend it. It had extremely good examples throughout each chapter that you could relate to. It helped you retain and even helped you understand how you could use statistics in your own job. That was very cool!

Một cuốn sách tốt cho những ai muốn tìm hiểu về thống kê.
Sách viết thực tế, cung cấp một số tips có thể dễ dàng áp dụng vào thực tiễn. Phát triển kiến thức một cách có hệ thống, toàn diện nâng cao dần và rất dễ hiểu. Có nhiều bài tập để thực hành, một cuốn sách tốt để tìm hiểu về concepts về thống kê.
Nhược điểm: Nội dung còn khá cơ bản và chưa được đào sâu, giúp người đọc hiểu được khái quát chứ chưa hiểu được hidden layers.

Ugh!! I am so glad this class is over...This is the type of reading I have to really really concentrate on or my mind goes someplace else while I stare at the words. Fingers crossed I pulled off a B in this class!!
