Fundamentals of Statistics 4th Edition - A La Carte Standalone Textbook | Perfect for College Students & Self-Study Learners

Great book to help with the class. Your professor is ultimately the person who chooses what to use and what not to use in the book. If you are having issues learning the class, talk to your professor. Statistics is different for everyone. Some find it easy, some find it hard, or you're in the middle somewhere. It started out quick and easy for me, then became time-consuming with long hand equations. Some new professors are now not doing equations long hand, nor require it. That's per instructor or institution.This book is very detailed and easy to follow but reads very dry. If you can not understand a concept, step away for a few minutes and come back to it, ask another classmate or the professor to explain it to you in their own words, or request help from your college study lab. A few things I recommend beyond anything else; take notes, take notes, take notes. Get a study group together to work on assignments, the more brains working on it, the better, and do not wait until the last minute to try and do the work, this isn't your basic math, it's that twisted math your peers warned you about!NEVER buy a book used or RENT a book and EXPECT the key code to work, that's common sense no matter what the description states. IT'S USED! The very first person probably used the key.At the end of the course, you will reflect back on what you learned from this class and think..... OMG, I'll never get that time back! Or you will head off to the casino to try and win it big! (you'll see what I mean) Either way, good luck in your studies!(NOTE: This book has math and interpretation intertwined, hence the definition Statistics is derived.)
