What would be your suggestions for a probability and stats book that would come before someone has had analysis. Basically looking for a suggestion for someone ultimately reading shreve or steele prior to being familiar with proofs, measure ect. So a good general introduction to non rigorous prob and stats that would offer a good foundation in the concepts that they can build on. Thanks.
Best intro to probability book?

For non-measure-theoretic probability, 3rd edition of Tijm's Understanding Probability. For a gentle intro to measure-theoretic probability, Capinski and Zastawniak's Probability through Problems.
