Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-08 00:00:00 Wenona Jones I used this book heavily and it helped me get an A so listen up (muahahahaha, evil laugh): Granted that this book is a tome. But I had to read through the first four chapters to get oriented in statistics (my undergrad was in Mech Engg and this was a graduate course in Stats dept.). I struggled a lot in the beginning not because the concepts were difficult but because they were not well organized and connected - the course organization was not clear at beginning. The book helped get started on that. During later chapters on confidence intervals, population proportions, hypothesis testing etc., several concepts got needed over and over and THIS simple strategy of organization of statistical concepts from the outset was the key thing that helped. Otherwise, I would be spending a lot of time over and over trying to rediscover the concept as some students were doing in study sessions. I left the study sessions after first one because I realized the book is really good. And well, I love books more than people! ❤️ See full review (with chapter-wise status updates) here. P.S. The one star down in rating is because despite the brilliance of the book, it was written as if someone would learn ALL of statistics from just the book. It could easily have been 1/3rd the thickness.

Review # 3 was written on 2016-01-26 00:00:00 Gavin Hunter It seemed like a really well-organized book, great for referencing. We didn't use it very much, however, because the teacher was so thorough, herself. I'm definitely keeping it, though.
