Average Customer Rating: 3.0 out of 5
1) Be prepared to be confused [Rating: 1 out of 5]
This is a horrible text book. It was written dreadfully. It's as if the author actually wants you to not understand the material. I am a former educator and current grad student and I have never come across such a bad text book. I am astounded. You'll need a team of tutors to use this book.2) Ew, Math. I've used better texts. [Rating: 1 out of 5]
I had to purchase this book for a college class; in all honesty, I think it could have been organized better, and it was a bit hard to understand. My opinion might be a little biased, however, because I hate math and I'm not good at it to begin with.3) Ace Your Stats Class [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is a must have text for anyone trying to learn stats. I am currently in a stats class. The text assigned was mostly theoretical with very little real world explanations and examples. I panicked! I started looking for supplementary material so that I could understand this topic. I was swayed by the reviews of this book. Please take a minute and review them for the fifth edition. The reviews rave about the book. So I bought it, despite the cost. I am so thankful that I did. I am beginning to understand statistics and even enjoy it. I'm finding myself looking forward to my study times so I can learn more. I give all the credit to this book. The author uses real world examples that I can relate to, has lots of examples and reasons why you would use one statistic over another. The other thing I like is that there are lots of exercises for practice that include the answers in the back. I say BUY IT! You won't regret it, I promise.4) Stats book [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The service is great, and it came in just a few days. The book was cheaper at amazon.com then it is at school. It has a tutorial that is very helpful as well.
