:)

Book is in perfect condition. The price was the lowest I found. Shipped in a quick manner. Very pleased.

Simple Statistics

If you are looking for a statistics book that explains things in a simple and elementary way, this book is for you! Additionally, the problems are straightforward. However, it requires that you know calculus I for some of the problems. It also has computer applications that you can practice. The only drawback is that the probability chapter is skimpy. You may want to supplement your knowledge of probability with another book, since statistics requires that you know probability first.

Excellent book

Good book to learn from if you have the required background. As both a mathematician and a meteorologist, I plan on using this book a lot!

Good for intuition

I think this book is very good for grasping the concepts and intuition behind the mathematical formalisms. Perhaps it should be used with another more theoretical book (Meyer, for instance). It is useful not only for engineering students.
