Elementary Statistics is appropriate for a one-semester introductory statistics course, with an algebra prerequisite. ES has a reputation for being thorough and precise, and for using real data extensively. Students find the book readable and clear, and the math level is right for the diverse population that takes the introductory statistics course. The text thoroughly explains and illustrates concepts through an abundance of worked out examples.
Statistics text. I really dislike how quite a number of problems are explained not in the body of the text, but in the exercises. Also, there are significant problems with the online homework and quiz questions. Correct answers are often marked wrong and the professor has to adjust afterwards.
