This text retains the pedagogical strengths of the previous editions and includes the use of real data in the examples. Topics include nonparametric statistics, a section on p-values in hypothetical testing, coverage of residual analysis, and more material on quality control and experiment design. Chapter introductions are provided, as well as interesting historical information.
This book was very helpful for me to review the subject. It is clear and well written with plenty of problems. I would personally prefer more example problems and more work problems with solutions, but it is getting harder and harder to find that these days.
very helpful

I'm an engineer, I've been out of school for 3 years and I bought this book for my first grad class. The book itself is like most textbooks... reading it will put you to sleep. However this book was great for learning the material. My professor is extremely hard to understand and not very helpful in lecture. Basically I taught myself the material from this book and passed with an A.
