The book is intuitive and well written. The math can be a little bit more and match the level of intuitiveness.
I hope in the next edition, the authors would add Excel and Minitab instructions.

This was the required book for my Statistics course, but it was completely useless. The print it tiny, the diagrams are inadequate, and there is no way that the information provided by the book would ever lead to being able to solve the questions asked by the book. I ended up only using one chart in the back and occasionally checking the answer pages to see if my practice work was correct. In the case of my class I could have gotten away with not having the book at all.
