About this title

Review:

"This is an excellent text. Possibly the best introductory text I have ever taught out of and I have been teaching Introductory Statistics since 1979. I have been using the book for the last three years and ...cannot think of any reason why I would ever switch to another text. "
- Vincent Lariccia, University of Delaware

“ Ross has done an outstanding job in the number and quality of his exercises. The examples are realistic, stimulating and cover a wide variety of practical situations. Ross is a master in clear and concise exposition...his style will appeal to students taking their first course in Statistics. I would definitely recommend adoption.
- John Deely, Purdue University
