I think this is a decent textbook, and I feel I was able to grasp most of the first half -- but it started to lose me there at the end. The studies and examples used to explain most of the concepts were fairly interesting though, which brought me back when I became dazed after intake overload.

I pray this is the last math class I will ever have to take in my life.

I pretty decent text book overall. Well organized with helpful tables, table of contents, and a glossary. Ive been using this to review stats in preparation for my CQE exam and its proven very helpful. 3.5 stars rounded up.

Somewhat dated but worth reading. A bit murky in parts.
