Probability and Statistics (3rd Edition)

Summary: One of the Best of Its Kind
Review: This was my first stats book in college. I really liked it a lot, and maybe it is why it helped me appreciate stats. This book is very versatile and somehow explains sophisticated concepts with the greatest of ease. It has great examples, and I learn better with those. This book was used not only in my undergrad courses (Stats I and II, back mid-'70's) but also in my MBA curriculum (as a later edition) 10 years later. I have yet to run into a better book for someone studying stats for the first time. Also good at probability, which is one of the most obtuse, counter-intuitive subjects for humans to understand.
