5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for beginners without deep knowledge in statistics

I am venturing into the field of Business Analytics and was quite shaky in my statistical concepts. I tried various sources to brush up on my basics, including "A cartoon guide to statistics", "Complete Business Statistics" and "Complete Idiot's Guide to Statistics". (Yes, I know my confidence had to be really low to check out some of these books).
Then I stumbled upon this book in a forum, and haven't looked back since. It's an amazing book, as the title says, for the "Basic Practice of Statistics". If you are as raw as I was, then this is the book for you. It will take you from beginner to intermediate level in a well-constructed and well rounded manner. There's plenty of exercises, examples, summaries, tables etc to get a good grasp of concepts. There's even a CD included which has certain small tools to help understand concepts better in practice.
All in all, a great book. Total value for money and totally recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Quality Book

I had to buy this book, because I am a graduate student working on a second masters degree (in mathematics this time) so I can become a full time college math instructor. I have been a teacher of mathematics at the high school level for 16 years now. The course was MA 502 through Eastern Michigan University online.

I must say, I was kind of critical as to how this book and course might be. Statistics can be a scary subject to take and with it being online, my fears were likely justified. However, I had nothing to be afraid of. The book is excellent. The format is excellent. Lots of pictures, short lessons, interesting examples. Instruction is step by step, small doses of spoon fed math, exactly like it should be. The book starts off very easy. Students at this level should be able to get through the first five chapters with simplicity, while refreshing foundations for future chapters. Everything is kept simple, and anything else is provided at the online website. Solutions from the website are detailed and clear. I was never truly lost, ever during this class! Something very rare for a math book to achieve!

I am a critical person by nature. I'll give 5 stars when it is deserved, but I hardly ever come across a book that satisfies my needs 100% ... I can usually find something to rant about. Not with this book. This author did a fantastic job. I am actually going to keep this book as a reference instead of selling it back. Excellent and I highly recommend.
