Customer Reviews
Very difficult to comprehend![]()
I’ve noticed that the majority of reviews of this textbook only address issues related to shipment and the condition of the book upon arrival. But what about content? It’s awful. Really. Who wants a math book that reads like a textbook. I’ve taken a few algebra classes this year and this is my first stats class. The algebra books contained multitudes of clear examples with step by step instructions. This book has long, complicated text-only paragraphs that you have to re-read multiple times and then they fail to provide many (there are a few, but very lacking)illustrated examples of HOW to arrive at the answer. This sort of book needs to be supplemented by other methods of information (classroom, tutors, Internet) to be really useful. Of course, some of us can’t rely on our teachers to help, as the quality of professors varies about as much as textbooks!! It CANNOT stand on its own most of the time. Very hard to grasp. Two thumbs down.
Lied about attached CD-rom![]()
the book I purchased was suppose to have an attached CD-rom specified in the description
“1 of Statistics for Business and Economics, 10th Edition (with Student CD-ROM)”
they however sent me one without one
im very discouraged
the shipping was however pretty fast, although I made sure to order this book from within the state of florida, where i live.
eventually They did actually send me what i had purchased
so i have changed my rating to 4 star
they gave me what i bought from them
thank you
