The ad for this book is correct. This is the book that is required for my stats 211 class at my college. Unfortunately I realized this book does not include the ONLINE CODE for the online assignments. My college book store sells this book for $180 with the online code and I thought I got a deal buying this from Amazon thinking the code was included. The ad says nothing about the online code. If it doesn't say anything about an online code, that means it's NOT included (lesson learned...). If you need the online code, get it directly from the website your college instructor give you. You will save money and get an ebook with a little more for your money. If you don't need the code, Amazon offers a great price for the textbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for those NOT mathematically inclined
Reviewed in the United States on 7 March 2013

I had to buy this book for an intro to statistics class (as most of you probably will if you are ordering it). I was surprised at how easy it was to follow. The way the points are organized is awesome, and the subject is pretty easy for me to understand (point of reference - I have an English Bachelors and am taking this as a prerequisite for medical school). MyMathLab is also an AWESOME system for distance learning, so it is well worth the investment. The homework and practice exercises have taught me more than the teacher herself.

While it's difficult to "love" anything about statistics, this book is kind of lovable because it has made statistics accessible.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay condition, but NOT loose leaf

I ordered a used loose leaf edition. However, I received a hardcover. The corners were damaged, which I'm assuming happened during shipping, as it was only sent in plastic wrap. Inside there were only a few markings in pencil by the previous owner and a couple of corners bent, but overall the quality was good.

5.0 out of 5 stars A solid introduction or review to statistics

I purchased this book for a series of graduate courses in statistics and absolutely loved it. The information in this text is well parsed into short chapters (approx. 20 pages) that are easy to digest. Excellent illustrations and examples are included and the accompanying CD was also helpful. In my opinion, this text will provide you a good foundation for exploring more advanced statistical concepts that are covered in other texts. In fact, I referred back to this text several times for review in my more advanced statistics and quantitative analysis courses.
