Kate’s Reviews –
The book itself is great, but I had to return it because my class was not even using it at all. I would reccomend making sure you will truly use the book or not.

I’ve used plenty of stats text books in college, grad school, and in my professional career & this is my favorite. It explains concepts in plain language and gives thoughtful examples that walk you through the concepts. It’s certainly the best text to help you learn to apply statistics to understanding everyday life.
It’s light on theory-I don’t recall seeing any proofs or calculus-and heavy on the intuition. For that reason, it’s best for high school students taking AP stats, or introductory classes in college, or those of us who’ve been out of school for years and need a refresher. But math or stats majors, engineers, and economists will find it suitable only as an accompaniment to their more technical books.

Best stats book ever

This is probably the best stats book I have ever owned. It’s easy to read and relate the concepts to everyday application.

Besides being extremely student centered and user friendly, the authors poured their heart and soul into this work. It’s far more than merely an excellent text book. These guys get it when it comes to combining teaching, effort, and empathy in order to achieve student learning. They left no stone unturned and stamped their signatures upon enduring excellence!

Todavía no pongo en práctica lo sugerido por el autor del ilbro. Espero la reanudación de los cursos para evaluar su utilidad práctica, para usarlo en el curso de metodología que imparto. Ahora están suspendido por el impacto del COVID-19

This book is so engaging and holds my attention. I’m really learning a lot. It’s humorous and the language is non threatening. Instructor chose a winner!

Easy to understand.
Mathematical Customer –
Book is great and actually goes through and explains the SPSS program too (if your instructors explanations are lacking/unclear).

I’m giving this 5 stars because it helped me with stats a little, and provided a recipe for brownies. Very wholesome from the authors.

I think this book has a great name and delivers statistics with ease. I could not believe how easy this book made the subject matter. Love it! I am not good at math, but I feel a lot better about statistics for quantitative research.
Marlies F –
reading this book was required for my statistics class but, unlike I expected it to be, it was well written and nice to read. Actually, this book helped me to understand even difficult themes. I can recommend it confidently.
Mathematical Customer –
In good condition, will be great for class
Karin Duggan –
Arrived quickly and in great condition.
The textbook is very clearly written and starts are not as scary now!

I am currently working on my PhD and one of my professors ( yes, stats, you guessed it) recommended this book to me as a guide through the shark infested waters of statistics. I find it helpful and would recommend it to others.
Alon Chikorel –
Excellent book. Explains in simple terms all the basics about statistics.
Abigail –
The writer is pretty great. I found myself laughing while reading for my stats homework and I was surprised I can be happy when reading a school textbook
Cassie –
The authors are engaging, used Plain Language, and even included a brownie recipe. How could anyone read this book and not like statistics afterwards?

I took a stats class early in my college career and tanked it miserably. I was convinced from that point on that statistics just was not my thing and never really would be. Fast forward to my current classes where an introductory stats was part of the curriculum in the form of quantitative research and I was in fear of my current goals going down the tubes. When the required text for this class arrived, I opened it tentatively and was surprised to find that it didn’t read like it was written by a computer program. Very understandable and human breakdowns interlaced with practice and exercises designed to break down complex ideas in simple terms. It will take work for people who struggle, this book is good but it isn’t a miracle but it is done in a way that is doable. It helps if you have access to a program like SPSS as well to be able to follow along with it. I felt like statistics was something that I wouldn’t fully understand but this book has helped immensely just by being relatable.
MJ Thompson –
It’s exactly what I wanted
Livvy –
Amazing

I loved how understandable the writing is. The concepts are beautifully scaffolded so that even the most impatient learner can steadily grasp them. While this cannot be the only resource for someone attending a graduate level stats course (even an intro stat course), it does wonders in breaking down the concepts and formulas so that you can easily apply what is being read right away.
My biggest concern is that the diagrams, tables and charts in the ebook are too tiny to view and are not able to be enlarged as the rest of the text is enlarged. These figures are quintessential aspects of the information being delivered. Because of this, I would not recommend this edition for anyone purchasing as a course textbook.

This book was such a huge help! It explained everything throughly and even stated if certain things would be harder topics but explained it through perfectly in order for me to get my homework done! I would say if I used another book for stats I would’ve failed so highly recommend this book!! Use it! It came in perfect shape with no flaws!
Reading is fun –

Unfortunately, was unable to access the data sets in Appendix C without the access code, and had to enter the data by hand into SPSS. The code did not arrive in the book. There is a code printed on the inside of a card or in the book apparently.

Not my favorite class to take, but this book got me through it.
