I now posses a reasonable understanding of statistics. I found some of the problems to be more helpful than others. In particular, I felt that this book used to too many acronyms of mnemonic devices, which I did not find particularly helpful.

Important concepts to know and understand, authors did a good job breaking it down but yeesh stats is dry.. once we got past "what's the likelihood you flip heads 4 times in a row" I started mentally dissociating.

5/5 would recommend
