Customer Reviews

Fast service and great product!

The seller contacted me promptly after i send him/her a message. The book arrived shortly after the order was placed and was in a great shape.

excellent condition

I didn't realize that this was the instructors' edition, but that's OK. It is in almost new condition just as advertised. A good book.

Statistics ( 10th Edition)

The book was just what I needed and it couldnt have come at a better time!

Excellent text for Advanced Placement statistics course

I was a member of the text selection committee that chose this book for our school division's advanced placement statistics course. It was a wise decision. The text is filled with contemporary examples that grab a student's attention. It is particularly good at using technology both in the exercises and in the discussion. My students were very comfortable with the reading level, and DID READ the text! I especially liked the project suggestions at the end of each chapter. The text's one weakness is the discussion and placement of the linear regression material. I needed a simpler approach and to do it much earlier in the course (after chapter 2). I had to supplement with material from other sources. However, this is a rather minor complaint compared to the text's many other strengths.
