Sharon Lohr you get five stars because I was in a parking lot and a man tried to get in to the passenger seat and it was nighttime but I would have used this textbook as a defense tool had luck and car locks and teachings from The Gift of Fear not been present.

Also surprisingly light (by weight) book. But sharp corners. And came to me in a package within a package within a package within a package.

Missing formulas, really hard to follow, difficult to read. I know it is a stats book, not something I am a genius at, but it should be easier to follow. Especially given the high level of confusing sub and superscripts sampling already has.
