In writing this text, I have been conscious of the importance of persuading students to invest the time and effort needed to absorb the methodology of statistical analysis.

Modern Elementary Statistics is an introdutory level textbook that teaches the fundamentals of modern statistics. It covers descriptive statistics, probability theory and statistical inference in a clear and logical way, providing many examples and problems to be solved. Another good feature is that a somewhat more advanced material is also presented by the author, who marks the corresponding sections with a star. The teacher or instructor of a course based on the book has some flexibility for tailoring the presentation to her specific audience, and the same textbook can be used in different situations. One of the best textbooks available on the subject; no wonder it is still being used after almost half a century since the first edition was published in 1967.
