A readable intro to Statistics

I liked this better than "Elementary Statistics" by Triola or "Elementary Statistics" by Bluman. Those two have more human interest sidebars, more color, and more fluff. They also require additional software and study guides to get the best from the book. Frank and Althoen are all business and their business is to get you to the point that you can do statistics and understand it. The authors do a nice job of presenting a mathematic subject. There are lots of examples, clearly worked out. The examples and student problems are with small enough data sets that you can work through them easily without getting lost in calculations.This book is 850 pages. black and white. self contained. no photos, no side bars, and just enough graphs and charts. It's full of text that is well crafted and gently pulls you along through a lot of statistical "Concepts and Applications".This book assumes you know algebra but not calculus.
