Customer Reviews

I love statistics

This text was received in perfect condition. No writing inside, arrived promptly and included a CD-rom. People who think they hate statistics are mean.

Don't Take a Stats Class Without This Book!

This was the text book for my first college statistics class and I'm so glad it was! I'm taking a more advanced statistics class now, and I'm reading this book again instead of using the new textbook (as much as possible) because it actually explains statistics in a way that I can understand and is interesting. Highly recommended!

Stats!

What a great book! Perfect for people who think they hate stats, its now my favorite class this semester!

Review for Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics

This book is easy to read. The author makes learning a tough topic more interesting and gives valuable advice on how to figure statistics. I still hate statistics, but I have less fear of the topic now.

At last...a book that students can follow!

This is an easy to follow, well written book that students find useful. I have used it for teaching undergraduate research and statistics and as a supplement for graduate level research. It is written on a level so that almost all students can follow it and it provides excellent examples.
