Neither introduction nor very short
We get used from this series to tell us an abstract about a certain affair. This abstract consequently shifts you from "I know just nothing" to "Okay that's a nice one",but this book shifts you to "I regretted it".
In short,it ain't an introduction. For someone who was never subjected to statistics,in its modern notion, would never get the picture through this book. The author kicked off well when he showed off the development of the science,reaching to its current figure,and what statistics is "really" about,but after that, all the content is going more difficult, especially chapters 4-6 when he elaborated in describing probability. Moreover,while stating that he gonna use an example,he shocks you with a bunch of compound sentences that makes you confuse. I imagine myself in the beginning of engaging in this science, reading this, I would be terrified.
They say "you won't be counted as an expert in a certain science until you can explain the whole of it in its simplest form, in the least duration". This book certainly doesn't manage to apply that. And this begs a question : How would the best statistical introduction book actually be?
