Title: Instructors need to utilize a different text for beginners.
Product review: This book was a good idea but poorly executed. The authors slap some impressively technical definitions in the text without actually making an attempt to translate what the definitions mean. They provide numerous examples but instead of explaining the examples they add a formula underneath it without providing any real explanation of the formula. This leaves the student frustrated and painstakingly searching the internet for an explanation to the author's lack of explanation. This book is not worth the money they charge for it and will leave your students thinking that mastering the basics of statistics is impossible. This book does not provide a good foundation to act as a statistics book for beginners nor does it offer anything to those experienced with statistics.
