hell yeah

I am currently reading the 13th edition and I can confidently say it is an amazing read. The explanations of core concepts are thorough with practical examples you can follow and think through yourself while you are reading them. Unlike most books (which are good by the way too...), I found this one very different because it makes you think "why?" and not "how?". Look at how the authors explained about the standard error concept for a sampling distribution. I actually began to get the point of the standard errors and by the time I came on "Interval Estimate", I was already in the process of thinking how I can apply it to answer some of the real life questions I see in day to day work. I highly recommend this book to anybody and everybody who really wants to thoroughly understand the concepts and then apply them in real life scenarios. Certainly not a book for those who just want a quick overview or just want to learn some formulas quickly.

The authors explain statistical concepts well, but sometimes, forget to emphasize the theory behind the topics. On the other hand, the book explores many applications that can be useful in economics, business analytics, and applied statistics.

A perfectly fine textbook for learning intro stats. I thought it was easy to read and concise. I'd recommend this textbook to anyone looking to learn stats. 4/5

It does the job, even though I found it lackluster on certain chapters, but maybe that's just me...

Great entry-level textbook about statistics. Each concept comes with a good example from business world. Some explanation might be a little verbose and repetitive. But that's one part of the statistics world. People create multiple ways to solve the same problem which differs slightly. There should be no surprise that these methods may share similar characteristics. Also, you don't want to miss a point if you are an invoice. All in all, this is a great start for anyone who wants to learn statistics.

Statistically speaking I didn't read very much of it at all ... too large a volume for a 6 week (2 cr) course.
