Easy to follow, entertaining at times

I really liked this textbook! I rented the hardcover, as my professor provided online access to the software (so I didn't need any code) It arrived in very nice condition, and the textbook itself was laid out in a very logical, easy-to-read manner, with sidebars explaining various real-world applications of the material. Each chapter was laid out the same way, with a colored box containing all of the relevant requirements and formulas and a reminder of what each letter or symbol meant within the formulas. At the end of each chapter were colored boxes showing you how to perform the calculations using different types of technology. The author inserted his dry wit at various points throughout the text, which I enjoyed immensely. Let me put it this way: I'm a middle-aged woman returning to college. I hadn't done math for at least 12 years prior to this, and I had two years between my first statistics class and my second. In the first week of Statistics two, it became clear that my last class left off at chapter 5, while this class picked up at chapter 9. I was still able to get caught up quickly, understand the material, and pass the class with an A, using only this book--no other materials.

DO NOT BUY HERE

Does not come with access code. Even if it says that it is new. Purchase somewhere else and you will save money. Better Yet, when you have to register for the class just purchase the access code and it comes with an e-text.

The only thing bad about renting this was that my course required that I have an access code for the online labs, which this didn't come with and I had to spend an additional $100. Good if you dont need the online access code. If you buy the access code the book is included online as well

No code

I bought this book expecting an access code to come with it but it didn't. So if you're looking for the Pearson code, it's best to buy the online access from their website.

An ok textbook that’s not worth more than the rental price

It’s an ok textbook. A whole lot of poorly worded problems and unexplained solutions that don’t follow the format of the examples. The textbook does provide detailed calculator instructions, and it’s much more convenient to flip through a book than scrolling endlessly through a digital copy. I had both a (maybe bootleg) pdf and the rented hardbound text, and I found myself using the hardbound textbook most of the time. This textbook is definitely worth no more than the rental price. Let’s be honest, though, you will be learning most of the material from your professor and Khan Academy. Like Mr. T said, I pity the fool that has to teach himself statistics with a textbook. Or something like that.

False advertising

Ordered the book which stated it would come with access code if purchased new. Received book without access code. Buyers beware!

I got the book for class even though it wasn't required just to reference to it if needed but it's not very helpful at all. I wish I would have gotten a different stats book

This is probably one of the most confusing books I have ever had the displeasure of needing for a statistics class, if you need a math book for a specific class do not get this one, I had to use other means of study in order to find the solutions to these questions that actually made sense to my mind.

Covered subject in detail

Loved this class. New way of thinking. I would like to take it twice, but I took online and in the summer on the fast track. Still managed to take away a good understanding of statistical methods of thinking.
