Modern Elementary Statistics, 11th Edition

Rating:
Summary: Wow!!! I finally understand!!
Review: This book by John E. Freund just made a lot of sense. I took stats a few years ago and did well, but was lost in a couple concepts. This book explained in laymen terms and allowed the reader to ask the questions in his or her head and find the answer not much farther in the book.
I love the statistics discipline anyway, so it probably means I seek out this type of information.
If you are looking for a great addition to your college text or just want to have some light reading, buy this book.

Summary: Do not buy this book
Review: This book is terrible. It doesn't feel like a coherent work, there are several typos within the text itself and the "solutions" to the odd problems in the back are incorrect in some cases. It does not explain the material clearly at all. If it weren't for my professor I would be totally lost. Don't misunderstand me, I make A's and B's in all my other classes (Finance, Accounting, Management, Algebra, etc.) and I know I can learn this material, but not from this gibberish. The book itself is not even aesthetically pleasing in its layout. I may be just nit picking on that last point but for over a $100 price tag I think I am allowed to be.

Just from reading the content in the book I gather that the author is from the Oregon/Washington area. Kind of makes you wonder who made the amazing review of it first..........
