content: I'm a student and have never taken Statistics before. I found it to be too confusing, the instructions to be too vague and the examples to be hard to follow. They automatically assume that you know immediately what they're talking about; some new concepts they explain in one sentence, which I found to be seriously lacking for someone who's trying to learn.Another thing is that you have to keep flipping back and forth through pages to get to formulas, charts, etc., including the references in the back of the book. There is nothing "basic" about this book at all.
