The item came in a timely fashion and was in the condition that was claimed. Would definitely use again.

thanks for putting this book up on amazon because it helped me save my parents alot of money this fall.

Triola has a great way of teaching a difficult subject. Real life examples and a sense of humor are used to make it interesting and engaging for the beginner.

shipped quickly and arrived in good condition. I just needed this book for a statistic class. the material is the same as the 2nd edition, but the math problems are different.

For any professor that is looking to select a great intro statistics textbook, look no further. This is very easy to read and understand, even for the most extreme math/stat phobes. It is well organized and provides valuable references and tables in the appendices. The author, Mario Triola, does a wonderful job of exerting his enthusiasm for statistics into the text and relating the material to every day subjects. For instance, when describing time-series graphs the author uses data of declining numbers of drive-in movie theatres. You actually get a feel for his personality which is odd for a textbook author. He also writes of the various developments in statistics in a historical context, which helps the reader to remember and understand the importance of the subject matter.

I actually enjoyed reading this textbook and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great learning tool for the class.
