A very helpful textbook - speaking as someone who is not math-oriented. Chapters are broken up into easy-to-follow sections that explain every concept without oversimplifying, as well as multiple example problems (and solutions) at the end of each section. The end of each chapter contains a summary, important equations, and a few pages of bonus problems. There are Z-tables in the back of the textbook. I received "Introductory Statistics" in fair condition, and was very pleased with how fast it arrived. A GREAT resource if you're starting out with statistics and might feel a little wary!
