Great,
This review is from: Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statis (Paperback)
I got the book at the expected time or I think it was earlier than the expected date. It was tightly packed. I am giving it a 4 just because I did not expect the book to be a hard cover book and I thought it would be different but I checked inside and it is not photocopied, which is a good thing. I guess the cover was just replaced because it came from a University.

Good book,
This review is from: Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statis (Paperback)
I purchased this book for school and it was really good. It makes you completely understand the subject. The only thing i recomend is that you make sure you get the right version. I didnt get the excel version, which is the one i needed for school and didnt bother returning it. I managed to get by fine without the right version, because the whole book is the same otherwise, it just helps. Came fast in the mail to and in perfect condition.

Best stats book I've read or own,
By Bret M. Atkins - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statis (Paperback)
I have eight stats books in my bookshelf, from Dummy's Guides to college textbooks. Salkind's text presented the material, seemingly directed toward graduate students, in the most clear and easy to understand manner of all I've read. It was actually enjoyable to read. I don't think you'll be disappointed with this one.

Great Used Statistics Text Book,
By Sarah "Psychology Undergraduate" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statis (Paperback)
This was my first time using Amazon.com, and I must say that I am very pleased. The book that I received at a reasonable used-book-price is in such good condition that it doesn't even look like anyone has ever opened it.As for the book itself, "Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics", I have found this book to be very helpful in my undergraduate-level, independent study of advanced statistics. The author's writing style is both engaging and humorous, and he carefully explains each concept and equation, using many helpful examples along the way to clear up any confusion. Obviously, he has taught the material to students many times himself, so he can identify common pitfalls that students may be caught in as they learn a subject that is both daunting and necessary- statistics. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Great text for what may be a dull subject,
By Amy R. Henson - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statis (Paperback)
This text is a very easy read and is actually quite entertaining. Salkind uses humor and casual conversation to explain a topic that may otherwise be dull and difficult to unerstand. Each chapter is rated with a difficulty scale.
