Can someone recommend me a good Probability and Statistics textbook?

For those seeking an introductory course in Probability and Statistics, several recommended textbooks include "Probability and Statistics" by M.H. DeGroot and M.J. Schervish (4th edition, 2012), and "A First Course in Probability" by Sheldon Ross (9th edition).

Thank you for another good textbook, @drake !
 
A Modern Introduction to Probability and Statistics: Understanding Why and How by Dekking, Kraaikamp, Lopuhaa and Meester. What I really like about it personally, is how focused it is on application, the practicality of statistics is shown in its full glory. I also find the quick exercises at the end of each section useful. They let you check if you understand the concept before trying to apply it to more difficult problems.
