Good prob and Stat book. Requires reading to understand concepts. Can not just read though pictures, charts, and equations.

Not for introductory students!!
This textbook is by far the worst textbook I ever used in college. The text is almost entirely just words in paragraphs rather than examples with guided headings. There are no solutions to any of the homework problems. And some of the homework problems make you refer to data sets from previous chapters. Trying to learn from this book is not possible.Also I rented this book and I sent it back a week before it was due, it was sent back to me two weeks later and I was charged a late fee.

Cropped out information from book!
The screen shots of examples and formulas from the book are cropped really lazily and have portions clearly cut out of the image. Makes them useless.

Not Really An Introduction
"Introduction" to Probability and Statistics. Don't you believe it. This book is not for those who have not had any exposure to probability and statistics. Like a lot of upper division mathematical textbooks it is written in almost pure "Mathenese" with a lot of implied teaching and assumptions that you already know the basics. This book is fine for a math major nearing the completion of their degree but definitely NOT the green horn statistician. If you looking for an introduction look elsewhere.

Hard to follow. A lot of crucial examples to understanding the content are "do it yourself" exercises

This book has to be updated considering modern tools (e.g. Matlab) for working the examples
This book aims to explain concepts, so demonstrations are just part of it (I liked them).What I didn't like is the lack of practical examples worked out with some mainstream mathematic tool like Matlab / Mathematica. Maybe 20 years ago It could be possible ignoring Matlab / Mathematica but now it is just not serious; formulas are very good for understanding concepts but for any practical use you should be able to use Matlab.Moreover, there are a lot of problems without solution; this is not helpful.Last, in the kindle edition, formulas are not always readable.
