We have been using the online Introduction to Statistics text for six weeks now, and I can say without hestitation that it is the best, most interactive introduction to statistics books that I have read and used to date. We are using it in our weekly statistics sessions and for home-study, and the comments have been very favorable. The videos help to reinforce the concepts, and the self-study quizzes help confirm or refute the belief of solid understand.55
I used this book extensively while I was studying to pass the statistics entrance exam for a data science course, and I found it very helpful - the chapters are short and easy to digest, with at least a couple of worked examples on each subject. The online calculators are also very useful. This wasn’t the only free online resource I used, but it was one of the best general introductions to the subject I found - highly recommended.55
This e-book is a comprehensive introduction to statistics written an a narrative style easily accessible to most terrified beginning statistics students. The interactive components will be very attractive and helpful to my students. One of the best introductory statistics text I have reviewed to date.55
This is very useful. This is my first year teaching high school statistics. The students love the interactive calculators.55
