Frank

An absolutely outstanding text for conceptual development in elementary statistics. - I'm currently taking a statistical analysis course, and, after having read the vast majority of the text, I've found it to be the most clear and intelligently written text on the undergraduate market. (I've read most of the competing texts and they really don't compare). Clear, to the point, lucid prose - explaining not only the calculations, but also the CONCEPTS BEHIND THE PROCEDURES, is what seperates this text from the others. A lot of books lose the reader in computational detail without clearly explaining the ideas behind the procedures. - This book clearly surpasses the others in its conceptual clarity and insight that it offers into critical ideas left out of most other elementary texts I've read. I actually went out and got this book after seeing how clearly superior it was in communicating critical ideas necessary to understand the subject - relative to the text that was assigned by the professor for the course. The doctrinaire critiques I've read about the book are, to me, entirely unfounded. If you're looking for a good conceptual foundation in elementary statistics, and calculations that illustrate the concepts, you won't find a better text on the market.

Great Book!

Having used another stat book before, I feel that this book does a great job of breaking down the proceedures step by step. I find the flow charts to be an invaluable help to understanding the subject. Having taken statistics for a total of 3 times, Once in another book and twice in this particular one, I have found that the difficulty of the material greatly depends on the professor. The only problems that have occurred using this text is in the rounding of numbers. Either the author is not following his own rules or the writers of the sample problems do not follow the authors rules. Possibly the rounding rules need more clarification in future editions.

thank you!

The book arrived promptly and was in excellent condition. Thank you for saving me time and money!

Book is good, software ...

The book is a pretty good introduction to Statistics, but the software, "Statdisk", crashes all the time. I tried it under both Win98se and XP, and it crashes frequently. Though, it does work better under XP.

I download an updated version of the software, still buggy. It might be a good idea to re-write this program for the next edition. (just don't hire Deitel and Deitel, then it would never work).
