Let me start off by saying that I have used many student aiding books throughout my school year but I have never approached a book like this. I tend to stop reading a book if it is not interesting or just does not make sense. What I like about this book is that it teaches through the methods of interaction by putting you in a situation and having you solve problems that associate with the situation.


Also, I enjoy looking at the book illustrations because it allows me to focus on the situation and because some of them are amusing. I do not do well in statistics but thanks to this book, I actually understand the concepts and I can see the difference through my grades.


The only thing I could say about this book is that it would have been nice if the book included a bit more practice problems to practice with. But, overall I say that this is definitely a book worth buying if you are learning statistics.
