Review Quotes:
"The book is addressed to courses on probability, mathematical statistics, and statistical inference at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. It also serves as a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners who would like to develop further insights into essential statistical tools." (Zentralblatt Math, 1 August 2013)
"If an undergraduate student seeks a guide that will introduce the basic ideas of statistics, or a lecturer wants interesting life examples and a source of valid intuitions to improve his teaching skills, then this book is a great place to start. . . This book, with its explanations of basic intuitions, its many examples, the easy language, and a minimal requirement for mathematical training, is a good self-contained starting point to prepare one for the jump into those heavier works."
