Overcomplicates a Fun Subject
Just “yuck”! I had to retake Statistics because I got sick and had to drop the class. I loved it before my school changed to this text. This seems to be written more to prepare students to engage with statistics software than to teach mastery of the subject. The authors use definitions to define definitions rather than explaining vocabulary by applying it in the approach to a problem. They don’t explain other vocabulary words that suddenly appear in the exercises but you’re somehow supposed to intuitively know what they’re after. This MIGHT work if they actually explained their reasoning thoroughly beforehand - or in the answer key to the odd exercise problems - but they don’t. Instead, when you turn to the back of the book to make sure you followed instructions “a - e” and got the desired results, you’re greeted by “b” being partially answered (apparently it was important) and no input given as whether or not you have managed to correctly interpret raw data into a format that is understandable and easier to engage with for exercise subsets a - e minus b. Or, more to the point of this science, if you can explain your findings to others… let alone discern if you’re prepared for exams. This sort of weirdness is happening in Chapter 2 which means that it’s going to be a very long term. This kind of ambiguity might be acceptable for graduate courses where one is expected to be able to develop arguments and defend opinions but in an introductory text, it’s inappropriate. I was getting an A last time…this may not be pretty. Sorry if you have to engage with this too. The book showed up (the second time) in good shape.

Good textbook, make sure you have the right version!
This textbook was necessary for my statistics class. My professor assigns questions from this textbooks. Apparently there are different kinds of this textbook with different questions???? Fortunately, from Amazon, I received the correct version and am now doing great in my statistics class.
