520			_aI have been through alot of schooling and recently had opportunity to tutor in statistics and needed to brush up and use this assigned text for my student. It is exceptional not just for a statistics text but also for any text I have ever seen written for any class. The author is careful first of all not to move to fast. This is critical in a subject this complex even at the introductory level. Then he is careful to gradually build on the prior lessons as he goes along and not just assume that you have everything down pat just because he already covered it!. Also the format and layout is easy to follow while the formulas and procedures are clearly outlined and hi-lite the essentials in the middle of the chapter without having to waste time digging back through the book. Even if this book is not assigned by your stats professor it could be very good to read this along with your assigned text as it will help you understand the basics very well.
