Awesome

I was really satisfied with my purchase not only did I get it in a decent time but the book was like new. Thanks a bunch Mari

Stats...class sucks...but i got a great book:)

I got the book in great time and the condition of the book was excellent. I wasn't sure about buying a used book at first but I was very pleased with the shipping time, the price, and the condition.

well organized

Each chapter is well organized and it is made sure that readers understand the concepts before proceeding. Clear research questions always accompany the statistics involved. All key terms are well explained. Statistics books can be tough. This one is easy to comprehend, especially for introduction and all the fundamentals. I learned all I needed to know to take an introductory stats course and to apply skills.
