This book was recommended by my Master Black Belt when I took the Lean Six Sigma exam prep course. As I understand it, there is no better book out there. I had statistics in college and consider myself above average in math.

The book breaks Statistics down into logical segments and presents them as Chapters. There are a large number of questions at the end of each chapter and the concepts are tested for in depth. There are True/False, short answer, multiple choice and word questions.

The correct answers are given for each question. However, there were several times where my mutliple choice answer was correct but my numerical answer did not match. In some cases this turned out to be rounding error, in other cases my application of the concepts was incorrect. I would like to see detail or supporting information for the multiple choice and word questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST book for Statstitics!!!

I had put off getting my BSN because I had to take Statistics, and I was dreading it. I purchased multiple references to help me through it-The "for Dummies" book, the "for Idiots" book, but nothing compared to this book. It helped out the most with those confusing concepts and formulas. It broke the terminology down to simple, easy to understand facts without making it sound as if you just started reading yesterday. I liked the book so much, I purchased another for a friend of mine who was also struggling with the class.
If you are looking at references, and help, and are considering this as well as the previously mentioned series of books, I would highly recommend this one. The others have been shelved, and this one sits beside my textbook on my desk.

CollegePlus said this book was required reading for studying for the DSST Statistics. After going through it, there is little wonder why they should say so. The topics are presented in a clear, logical format. The terms and concepts, for the most part, are explained very well.
The only qualm I have with it is its lack of explanation in the given examples. They show little work/reasoning in the examples. However, the examples and exercises are usually very simple and straightforward, so this is not a very serious problem. I only recall one section in which it was a serious problem: namely, the section on quartiles and finding the inter-quartile range (IQR) in Chapter 2. I thought I understood what they said about it pretty well, but when I tried the exercises, I could not get the answer that they did, no matter what I tried. I could not figure out how they did the calculations. It seemed to me that they did not mean what I thought they did on how to find the quartiles and IQR.
Anyway, in all the other general topics in statistics, it was very good. After going through this book, I was able to pass the DSST Principles of Statistics exam with flying colors. Those who would take the same test should get this book.
