Book Reviews of Statistics (Cliffs Quick Review)

Book Review: Unhelpful for the average undergrad
Summary: 2 Stars

I bought this looking for an explanatory guide for a basic, undergraduate statistics class. I was looking for something to (quickly) fill in the gaps whenever I didn't understand a concept. For this purpose, it is fairly useless. The explanations are confusing, and have a habit of leaving huge holes in their discussion of various topics. While I wasn't looking for a huge, in-depth explanation of every single topic discussed, the authors of this Cliff Notes book oversimplify to the point that their explanations lead to further misunderstanding and confusion. As a disclaimer, math really isn't my thing; however, I can usually understand something fairly easily if the topic is explained in a comprehensive way. For the average college undergrad, it really is a waste of the $5.00 you'll pay for it, which is saying something. I also bought The Complete Idiot's Guide to Statistics, 2nd Edition [Paperback], which I would recommend. Of course, neither of these books replace an actual person sitting down to go over and personally explain a topic or concept, but the Idiots Guide is a far more valuable resource. Usually I find the star rating system on amazon to be very helpful and accurate; that is not the case for this book.
