Customer Reviews

Most Fun I've had with Statistics
I'm writing this book review only because I haven't seen anything under the Review section except feedback on how the item was shipped. I'm not a profession reviewer so this will be short and simple and to the point.

In short, this book is amazing! I'm a teacher at a community college who had statistics ages ago using a confusing and complicated book. Anyway, I'm picking up this book and reviewing it so I can tutor some of the students that are having trouble. I at first dreaded looking back over this stuff, but I've found this book is such an amazing and motivational read! It puts everything out there in an easy-to-understand way with real practical examples. Plus, it has examples showing you how to use a calculator, which seems easier for teachers in general instead of making students plugging-and-chugging the much more complex formulas (which there aren't too many in this simple book anyway). It says Elementary so it doesn't include Calculus based methods, but I feel it gets the points across much more effectively without all the complexity. And the author includes a fold out page of charts for your convenience which I really like. All the charts are the same ones that are in the back of the book, but this chart has all your formulas on it and so much more all consolidated in one place so it is really awesome.

Great for students and teachers alike, and an easy read for people wanting to brush up on statistics. A+

Statistics
Book was in good condition. Only issue would be some writing of answers in the margins. Other notations made in the book too. Otherwise, in very good condition. The CD to go with the graphing calculator was unopened in new condition.

Feedback on shipping
I finally received my book. THIS WAS NOT AMAZON'S FAULT. What is your definition of NEXT DAY AIR? Let me tell you my story!!!! I called Amazon with a dead line which was the next day. My fault@!#$%. I called them on Friday June 5, 2009, at like 18:00 hours and ordered a college book for NEXT DAY AIR. I spoke to a CSR, who was very professional by the way. Kudo's to Amazon. So, I order this book NEXT DAY AIR on Friday. Kudo's to Amazon. The book was at Davenport, UPS on Sat,June 6, 2009 at approx 06:30. Now, Davenport, IA is only approx maybe 30 minutes from my house. IF I would have known, I would have driven there and picked the package up myself. AMAZON DID THEIR JOB. So, Sat, I'm waiting around for this package to come to my door. No package. So, Monday rolles around, by the way the Ups Warehouse is approx 30 minutes from my house. IT'S APPROX 14:00 hours and I'm starting to get a little concerned. Well, to make a long story short. If your going UPS, DAVENPORT, IA. PICK IT UP YOURSELF because, SERVICES, HA, THERE IS NONE. The package was THROWN at my door at approx 17:30 on Monday, June 8, 2009.
