Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:

This solid text presents ideas and concepts more clearly for students who have little or no background in statistics. The Twelveth Edition retains all the elements and style that educators nationwide have come to expect—clear prose, excellent problems and precise presentation of mathematics involved—while eliminating some of the computational drudgery.





Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - An invaluable text!
It has been motive of special interest in this semester to have found this text. In my section of Statistics for students of Adverting, Exterior Commerce, Administration and Informatics, due it contains the always considered material of extreme difficulty and troublesome analysis for most of people who has to confront this subject.

The theory is exposed with clarity, zealous programmed, with abundant visual diagrams as well as a set of adjusted and concerning problems related with their field.

So please, take my advise and try to get as soon as possible.

I certificate it!.




Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Do not buy this book
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..........




Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Wow!!! I finally understand!!
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.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - excellent introductory text
One of the clearest introductory textbooks on probability & statistics. It compares well with Freedman & Purvis's "Statistics" in clarity of presentation. In one respect Freund improves on Freedman by not being afraid to show students the actual formulas to use for solving problems. (Another good intro is Russell Langley's "Practical Statistics".)



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great for beginners
I used this book to study for the Excelsior College's Introductory Statistics exam (college credit by examination, former Regents'), and got the maximum. I had the 9th (revised) edition, published in 1997.

Only knowledge of elementary algebra is required; no calculus whatsoever is needed here.

The book contains 17 chapters; for this exam I only needed about 13. Broad outline of content: summarizing data, probabilities and possibilities, expectations and decisions, probability distributions, normal distribution, sampling distributions, inferences about means/standard deviations/proportions, analysis of variance, regression, correlation, nonparametric tests.

I very much appreciated the way that the content was organized: easy to read, very structured, with clear and detailed examples. At the end of each chapter or minichapter - questions and problems.

Totally unnecessary, and outdated, are the computer generated examples that pop out now and then throughout the book.

In conclusion, highly recommended.
