Product Description
The main difference between this text and many others is that an attempt is made here to present material in a rather relaxed and informal way without omitting important concepts. The text demonstrates the wide range of relevant issues and questions that can be addressed with the help of statistical analysis techniques by presenting over 1,750 realistic problems that arise often in health care, the social and physical sciences, education, business and economics, engineering, and leisure activities. It also convinces your students that statistics is "do-able" by including real data that students have collected and analyzed for class assignments and projects. Additionally, the text utilizes an intuitive, common sense approach (including occasional humorous situation or ridiculous name) to develop concepts whenever possible. Statistics: A First Course employs widely available, inexpensive technologies--particularly Minitab and the TI-83 graphing calculator. We also explore the use of the World Wide Web to collect data, providing students with the means to obtain up-to-date information without leaving their desks. In short this book is written to communicate with students rather than to lecture to them, and its intent is to convince readers that the study of statistics can be a lively, interesting, and rewarding experience!

This book made statistics easier and less esoteric.
This book is organized into 13 chapters and is a little expensive.
Contains a lot of charts, figures, graphs, diagrams and some pretty pictures too(some of them seem to be out of place).
Salient features -
1) Excellent coverage of sampling & Estimation, and more importantly Hypothesis testing(very comprehensive).
2) Several solved problems.
3) Several exercises/problems for you to solve/learn from.
4) Many typos/printing mistakes/goof-ups.
5) Very detailed in approach.
6) Funny.
Realy a HEAVY first course in statistics.

I took a Statistics couse with one of the authors (Smidt), and this was the reference book (for 500 level). It was a MINITAB course instead a really statistical course.
