[J-Lynn Van Pelt]

This was my textbook for a graduate class in statistics. The book is detailed with plenty of examples, but I still found it hard to follow. Statistics is a struggle for me and I found myself relying on the class lecture to solidify concepts.

Really, a book that attempts to make learning about statistics fun? Well, it wasn't fun, but I guess my eyes didn't bleed either. (Not much at least.)

Simple easy to read text book on Stats. Hard part is to remember the formulas when find solutions to problems. Keeping notes on the nitty-gritty is a good principle when reading through each chapter.
