From a review: THE AMERICAN STATISTICIAN "The authors write well, and most concepts are explained clearly. From the reviews of the second edition: "It is a clearly written guide, suitable for undergraduates or maybe Masters level students with no prior experience of statistical analysis. The basic, important and necessary areas, such as probability, sampling, regression and analysis of variance are included, with enough detail (and reproduction of SPSS dialogue boxes and windows for up to version 13) to make the whole thing easy to follow."
