    Right now for school we use Intro to Stats by DeVeaux, Velleman, and Bock... but it stinks, so I'd suggest just going to a book store and getting something like CliffNotes Statistics, or Statistics For Dummies... it probably has way more explanations than a lot of regular text books and it also has practice problems... all while being wonderfully cost effective (compared to a normal textbook anyway.)

    Good luck!

    Yeah had planned on doing that as well just did not know what all was NEW> I may try and find my old text I had. I mean formulas are same and I paid a fortune for that book!!

    I'm going to stop in at barns noble and flip through the stats for dummies. I'm hoping some will come back to me once I start hahaah... I mean hell I made a high B so I hope it would
