"Anything but Wackerly" according to Danial Lee Sellers. This is an adequate text up until chapter 6. The probability chapter the the discrete probability distributions are great. The concepts and derivations are logically laid out and make sense. Things begin to get frustrating in chapter Anything but Wackerly Danial Lee Sellers This is an adequate text up until chapter 6.

"Solid Presentation But Lacking Concision" according to Andrew Adams. The sixth edition of Math. Statistics w/ Applications is a solid book with good information. However, the form of presentation was not for me. The authors have chosen an explicative style which tends to be overly wordy.When I begin to read a chapter, I tend to get frustrated and impatient because they either try to show you all the subtleties at once or give you a long-ass paragraph that can be said with one sentence. Thus, The most important stuff is buried in a mountain of over-whelmin. FizzWiz said Good reference book overall. Overall, a good book. Could be a better even after excluding minor details- the ones noticed mentioned below.Background necessary: Calculus- especially Taylor series, Integration by parts, solving for areas by integration and figuring out their limits; Even with a sufficient background, some proofs are quite rigorous or not well written enough, not sure which sometimes.Comments based on first 7 Chapters of the book:Standard deviation- excellently describedRelative frequency- NOT very wel
Scheaffer present a solid undergraduate foundation in statistical theory while conveying the relevance and importance of the theory in solving practical problems in the real world. Premiere authors Dennis Wackerly, William Mendenhall, and Richard L. The authors' use of practical applications and excellent exercises helps students discover the nature of statistics and understand its essential role in scientific research.. This is the most widely used mathematical statistics text at the top 200 universities in the United States
