Statistics: The Exploration and Analysis of Data

I ordered this book to prepare for further postgraduate study. It was in perfect condition and the price represents very good value when compared to the retail price of a new copy. Very satisfied.

Passed the class with a B!

This was a required textbook for a lower level college statistics course. It's a math book, it has numbers, it's boring to read. However, the examples are fairly good, and it supplemented the lectures pretty well. I was able to complete my homework with the help of the examples and practice problems included.Best of all, it's super cheap because it's an older edition. Don't let professors fool you when it comes to text book editions. Unless you are doing problems directly out of the book for a grade, an older edition will have the same content and be just as helpful and easier on your wallet.

Great book and the resale value is awesomeeeeeee!!!!

I purchased this book as a requirement for a college statistics class recently.Pros:-Simply written, easy to understand, walks through concepts fairly well-Lots of worked example problems that help give understanding-Lots of good figures and graphs-Great stats tables (z-curves, t-curves, etc.) in the back of the bookCons:-The layout of the book was confusing to me I had to jump from chapter to chapter and concepts were introduced after they were talked about in some instances-Sometimes the authors walk through a concept by only using one example which made it hard for me to apply to situations that were not the exact sameOverall I think this is a pretty good stats book and the older editions are cheap, so that is nice.

For a statistics book, this is just a cut above the rest. I didn't use any of the companion software or internet features, but really, why would you need to? This book has it all. Example Problems. Problems. Answers to some of the problems. Skyboxes. Lots of graphs. I mean, the book teaches you how to make and read graphs, though it could use a bit more information on appropriate use of the different types of graphic representation of data.
