Requires reading to understand concepts. Can not just read though pictures, charts, and equations. Review: Not for introductory students!! - This textbook is by far the worst textbook I ever used in college. The text is almost entirely just words in paragraphs rather than examples with guided headings. There are no solutions to any of the homework problems. And some of the homework problems make you refer to data sets from previous chapters. Trying to learn from this book is not possible. Also I rented this book and I sent it back a week before it was due, it was sent back to me two weeks later and I was charged a late fee.

Not Really An Introduction
"Introduction" to Probability and Statistics. Don't you believe it. This book is not for those who have not had any exposure to probability and statistics. Like a lot of upper division mathematical textbooks it is written in almost pure "Mathenese" with a lot of implied teaching and assumptions that you already know the basics. This book is fine for a math major nearing the completion of their degree but definitely NOT the green horn statistician. If you looking for an introduction look elsewhere.

Cropped out information from book!
The screen shots of examples and formulas from the book are cropped really lazily and have portions clearly cut out of the image. Makes them useless.

Rough but useable
This book is pretty much destroyed already. It’s useable, mostly writing this review so I have a record when I return it that I didn’t mess it up

Hard to follow. A lot of crucial examples to understanding the content are "do it yourself" exercises

Libro utile e interessante, mooolto approfondito, forse troppo per ciò che mi serviva. Comunque c'è tutto quello che bisogna sapere.

Livre conforme à ce que j'attendais. Néanmoins quelques défauts d'impression

O**I
La legatura di questo volume è pessima. Chiaramente si tratta di un problema causato da scarsa professionalità dell'editore e non è un difetto di questo specifico volume. Usare colla per tenere le pagine di un libro del genere è ovviamente una scemenza.
