Timely Shipment and Book condition as promised

The book was true to its description mentioned and the delivery was on time. The book is student friendly and very good for students who are stats-phobic as this book makes learning easier and visually attractive.

Easy to understand.

I suck at math, but this book tries to keep it pretty simple, especially if you have a professor that goes along with the book pretty well.

Comprehensive Stats

This textbook was the recommended text of two that we were required to buy for a doctoral level Stats course. I think that speaks for itself. It's definitely not just a basic Stats text. Worth buying if you want something comprehensive.

College book for daughter.

Delivered quickly and much cheaper than college book store. This was teacher's edition, which has answers the student edition does not.

Though the price was much too high, I still feel happy

I must say I felt bad with the price of the book - I felt it was much too high. But after reading the first few chapters of the book, and noting that it flows and is very easy to understand, I do not have to complain so much now. I am loving the book now.
