Unequivocally yes—as a learning accelerator, not a crutch.
Without the manual, a motivated student might complete Wasserman’s 20 chapters in 6 months. With the manual (used actively), that timeline can shrink to 3–4 months of deep, efficient practice. The manual converts frustrating impasses into micro-lessons in proof technique. all of statistics larry solutions manual full

The statistician who consistently skips the solutions and brute-forces every problem is rarer but ultimately more capable. The ideal path lies in between: struggle first, consult second, teach third.

Fix: For unsolved problems, form a study group. Each person attempts a different problem and presents his/her solution to the group.
Even well-intentioned students fall into these traps:
