Very good text book. Easy to follow and understand. Answers to odd questions are in the back of the book. Book has Self-Review Quizes throughout the book with answers at the end of the chapters.

Reviewing Book

It was in good condition & it was exactly how the seller said it would be. I was satisfied with how the book was when it was sent to me.

The best intro/intermediate statistics textbook available

This book is the best introductory to intermediate statistics textbook currently available.The authors do an excellent job of explaining how to go about doing statistics.The example problems are throughly worked out for the beginning student.All the steps needed to solve the various kinds of problems that a student will encounter in a statistics course are included.The notation used in the formulas is clear and straightforward.The treatment of p-values and multiple regression analysis is the best exposition to be found among current introductory/intermediate texts .I have taught 4-5,000 students statistics at the introductory,intermediate,and graduate level.I highly recommend this book for anyone taking an introductory to intermediate level course in statistics.

Good Book

This was a useful book and had helpful examples using excel. I had hoped that it would have had examples using the TI83 calculator but other than that this was a good book for statistics.

Best Undergraduate Statistics book available

As an undergraduate and graduate statistics faculty, I have read and taught from many different statistics books (at least a dozen by a quick count). This book by Mason, et.al. is superior to all and far superior to many (including many texts used for graduate business statistics).It is clearly written, well organized, and does not use up a lot of space with massive amounts of output from statistics packages that one will not use outside of the classroom.I have recommended it many times to students as an alternate to the extant class textbook, for all of the graduate and undergraduate business statistics classes that I teach.
