When glancing through the book, I noticed the brief section on the Monty Hall problem. When I first heard about the problem, my immediate reaction was to simulate it, which is exactly what this book suggests doing. For those inclined to approach problems this way, I think this book could be very helpful in teaching baseline statistics. One of the things that bugged me about my college stats class was that it was taught at such a low-level. The material never advanced to a point to where I felt I was learning things that could be resourceful down the line. Instead of immediately jumping into Excel or SPSS datasets and doing meaningful things with them, we were busy doing stats exercises by-hand, which seems like such a waste of time. Sure, you have to know what the various elements mean, but do you really need to know the nuts and bolts of it, when in actually, you're going to be using a computer to do it anyway?
