I regularly teach a course in basic statistics at the college level. In that capacity, I examined this book for possible adoption as the text for the course. In terms of the breadth of coverage, it is broader than most other texts. There are three chapters:
*) Nonparametric statistics
*) Statistical process control
*) Projects, procedures, perspectives
covering material not normally found in other texts. The depth of the coverage is also a little deeper than in most...more

Very acceptable as a textbook. Although the author gets a bit too wordy at points (create a frequency based on the midpoints of the blah, blah, blahs...), he has a very realistic attitude toward the introductory statistics student.

I had so many problems trying to learn from this book. It was very anti-user friendly, not offering nearly enough examples or even explanations.
Triola, is not a very good book on elementary statistics. There is not enough actual math and too many applications.
Combined with the online tutorial Course Compass it's excellent.
That the book had good organization as whole, but assumed that the reader should know certain facts/inform; lacked descriptiveness and mathematical flow. Should have used more mathematics in solutions and broken them out step by step, not assume that the reader knew what was happening between omitted steps.
Would not recommend the book to as a learning tool, only as a reference book.

I had to read this for a college statistics class.
I love statistics. So I should be able to at least appreciate a textbook on the subject right? Well, this one is poorly organized and made it unnecessarily difficult to find what you were looking for. I got an A in the class but I give the book a D.

everything you need to build a very solid foundation in stats. I actually enjoyed working through this book quite a lot. Math is not my stong suit, but I didn't struggle with this guide.
captivating
