Review:

“I like the order in which the topics are presented. The order is the same way that I would choose if I were writing a text myself.”

- Kathleen Denson, Texas A&M Commerce

- Brock Kirwan, Brigham Young University

“This text is at a level that I would feel comfortable assigning to my intro stats students.”

- Osvaldo Morera, University of Texas at El Paso
