WASTE of money, nothing else to say except can I have my money back? The star is a mistake:it get's negative 5 stars.

As a business magazine editor I find we frequently have to evaluate statistical material. My writers are not uniformly prepared in statistical analysis. They don't have to be. Basic Statistical Analysis (8th Edition) is more than a textbook. We use Dr. Sprinthall's book as our interpreter. We find it authoritative but more importantly, accessible. The author is an effective communicator who allows us to understand the techniques we need without the eye glazing numbness of having to enter a world of baffling jargon, impenetrable examples, and little Greek letters lying on their sides waiting to bite us. I am glad we came upon his works.
By the way, you definitely DO NOT need to be a math major to understand what Sprinthall's up to in this book. I recommend this edition of Statistical Analysis particularly to business and political writers along with every newsroom in the world. Anyone who is wrestling with assertions which are purported to be "proven" by an accompanying body of statistiical "evidence" should have this book on their shelves. Think of it as self-defense.

Easy to read but is not a book for non math students. If you don't desire to have a good foundation behind the mathematics and just want formulas with examples, this book is for you.

This book is great! It breaks down statistics step by step. I highly reccomend it

This is a great textbook for those who do not really understand statistics, but want to learn. It is easy to read and follow along with.
