Product Description Statistics, Sixth Edition explains, in plain English, the basic concepts and procedures of Statistical analysis and makes a special effort to clarify such perennially mystifying topics as the standard deviation, variance interpretation of the correlation coefficient, hypothesis tests, degrees of freedom, p-values and estimates of effect size. | ||

Worthless This book didn't even coincide with my statics course. It was difficult to understand and consumes a lot of time to get any understanding from the material. Would not recommend. | ||
No complaints! I had no complaints with this company. My book arrived on time and in the condition I was promised. Great value! | ||
very pleased This textbook was selected for me to use in teaching statistics to undergraduates. I've just finished reading it and I am, on the whole, very pleased. It is much easier to understand than any of the statistics texts I used in upper division courses or graduate school. It is straight forward and concise yet has a fairly conversational style. The only downside is the need for text corrections (about ½ a page worth) but these are available from the book's companion website and can be handed out the first day of class to avoid student frustration. | ||
There Are Superior Stats Books The content itself is mediocre, and comparable to another stats book I used. However, the tables and examples are bland, as is the color scheme of the book (printed in 2 colors). Engaging a student in statistics is difficult as it is, blocks and blocks of black print are sure to discourage further. I found Triola's examples far more meaningful, and the enthusiasm of the author much more apparent. | ||
Bad edition of a useful book... If you are an instructor avoid this book. I have used older editions of this book because they have been easy for students to understand. With the eighth edition I have had to pass out lists of corrections and mistakes in the book. They are nothing major, but often confuse students. | ||
