I love the book, however it took longer than I thought it would to get to me.
Rating:  - Any teacher who chooses this text...
is a complete moron. This text is SO poorly organized and poorly written that students have absolutely no clue come test time. There is a great deal of time spent on examples, but the examples are never explained. If you're asked why or how on a test, you'd be sunk. If your teacher requires this text for your stats class, find a different class!

I had to purchase this book for an online stats course - BIG mistake! The organization of the book is so incredibly confusing, and the "expanding the basics" problems are not illustrated in the chapter, nor do they have answers with which to check your answers. I have taken other reasoning courses (in class and online) and they were organized much better, with relevant examples that explained every step -- perfect for anyone who is basically trying to teach him/herself! I hope mathematics teachers ... Read More
