Understandable Statistics, Enhanced Edition (with Enhanced WebAssign 1-Semester Printed Access Card)

Customer Reviews:

Not bad, just not good enough

By Charles Ashbacher - May 1, 2007

As a teacher of basic statistics, I am always on the lookout for a better text. Right now, I use "The Basic Practice of Statistics" by David Moore. Therefore, when I looked at this book, it was being compared to the Moore book as well as to what I want to cover in the class.

The coverage of this book is more than adequate for my needs and the order of presentation is well within my desires. Nonparametric statistics is also included, which is an area I cover only if I have the time.

The presentation style is appropriate for the level of student that I have in my classes, but only at the upper end. In other words, the technical level is a little higher than other texts I have examined. The demonstration is generally clear, although at times a bit too concise. In my opinion it would have been better if there had been more examples worked in a step by step manner. My students need that at least once for each problem type.

Don't believe the title...

By G. T. Hood "compulsive reader" - July 7, 2008

My stats professor, who has a great sense of humor, said the title of this book is, "a damnable lie." Admit it: "understandable statistics" is, at best, an oxymoron. The best part of this book is the application exercises. The text by itself will not be enough to walk you through the maze that is statistics. Find a good guru to explain the concepts and provide moral support.

Can you say STEAL?

By Wayne - August 30, 2012

Initially I was worried about purchasing a used book on-line. This book was listed as "in very good condition" and it is! I saved $169 and for a starving student that goes a long way. I will be shopping here for used books from now on... read more
