Elementary Statistics: A Brief Version with Formula Card

Fairly easy to follow - I was able to teach myself stats from this book and get a "B" in college. The chapters are broken into sections and each section has a 30+ question exercises, with an end-of-chapter quiz. You will KNOW stats if you do all of the exercises and take the quizzes.I haven't had a math class in decades. I took an Algebra course (prior to this course) and came away with success! You will need to brush up on basic Algebra, as some of the formulas look pretty crazy at first glance. As long as you remember your "order of precedence" for calculations, you'll do fine. There are also sections in every chapter that show you, step-by-step, how to use Minitab, TI-83 Plus or TI-84 Plus and Microsoft Excel to compute the formulas. If nothing else, you'll get more use out of Excel! I've used it for years without knowing all of the commands and macros that I've learned with this book.Stats was THE hardest class I took for my undergrad and this book got me through it. You can actually teach yourself without a professor or a tutor. Although, a tutor would have come in handy a few times. Thank goodness for YouTube.

When I had gotten the book, it did not come with a formula card like it had said. It was necessary for me to have the formula card for my class. Also the book had came ripped on the book and i needed to tape it to secure it from falling off. The book rarely left my house. Yes the book is used but there was writing throughout the book. From the back being ripped the back cover ended up coming off from how poorly the back of the book was. the book served its purpose but I would have been better off renting it from the book store at my university.

I bought this in “good used condition” but received a book water damaged and moldy... very very disappointed with what I paid in relation to what i received.Plus side, the formula card was still in the book when I received it.

Book was ok class was difficult

This book is a rental and arrived obviously well-used. There was no formula card, as promised; and that was disappointing. However, it is useable; no pages are missing. It does the job, and I am thankful that I don't have to buy the book.

This book was a required course material for my introductory statistics class. When I couldn't understand my class notes, I referred to this book. The author explains everything quite clearly, but any way you cut it, statistics is a dry topic.

POOR Quality! Cover ripped, 1/3 of the book is water damaged. It was represented as “very good quality”, but there is no way this could be considered anything above poor or unacceptable condition

Very satisfied!
