For a statistics book, this is just a cut above the rest. I didn't use any of the companion software or internet features, but really, why would you need to? This book has it all. Example Problems. Problems. Answers to some of the problems. Skyboxes. Lots of graphs. I mean, the book teaches you how to make and read graphs, though it could use a bit more information on appropriate use of the different types of graphic representation of data.
Great book for AP Stats!

As an AP Statistics teacher, these articles really help students understand how statistics is used in the real world. Nice follow up questions at the end of each article.
It's a very good textbook!

I read this book before I puchased it. It's good for students who don't have the strong background in statistics because the authors used very clear words to explain the statistic formulas.I love the summary of key concepts and formulas very much. I strongly recommend evryone to buy it because you will love it.
No other book gets students as excited about statistics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I've used examples from this book in every research design, evaluation or statistics course I have ever taught. The essays are compelling -- how a statistician beats a parking ticket, how the whales are counted, the biggest health experiment ever conducted. I actually see students eyes light up and they catch the joy and excitement of detection, wit, thinking outside the box, the humility of guessing rather than knowing. The book is a sheer pleasure. Bravo to the authors.
