Review # 1 was written on 2014-04-06 00:00:00 Lydia Whisenant I'm reading the 4th edition, from 1993.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-01-22 00:00:00 Mary Finley This is a very solid textbook on probability and statistics, from the introductory level through intermediate topics, and is reasonable as a reference text as well. The text tends to be dry, rather than chatty, and the topics are developed from scratch or described with proofs, rather than simply being presented as definitions. I consider these to be positive features, in a math text. The examples don't tend to be very interesting, but there are a large number of them, which helps when using this book as a student. I used the second edition of this book in college. Despite having a large selection of newer, more comprehensive, or more advanced books on my shelf to choose from, Hogg & Tanis is still the book I normally turn to when I need to look up a distribution or statistical test.
