This new text offers an Excel focused approach to using statistics in business. All statistical concepts are illustrated with applied examples immediately upon introduction. Modern computing tools and applications are introduced, and the text maintains a strong focus on presenting statistical concepts as applied in business --as opposed to providing programming methods used to find a mathematical solution. Interpretation is heavily emphasized, enabling students to take full advantage of Excel to develop and drive problem-solving skills.

Decision Science,

This review is from: Applied Statistics in Business and Economics with St CDRom (Hardcover)
My Prof really likes this book and has used previous editions too. My opinion - so far so good. In my limited review of the book the examples are good and the language is not technical. This course/book is part of my graduate studies in biology. The book is primarily business focused but with a profs help it is totally applicable to scientific data evaluation. Otherwise, it is approaching week 4 of 12 in my class and we haven't really relied on the book. My only real comment is to check with your campus bookstore/professor and see if it is supposed to come with a student version of Minitab (the software associated with the text). My online order did not come with Minitab, which I need for my stats course.

Good buy,
By Pretty Bird McMuffin (BRONX, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Applied Statistics in Business and Economics with St CDRom (Hardcover)
Purchased this book used not new, for $73.99 from a private dealer on Amazon. I would have to say that the text is easy to understand, lots of material (lots) included and covered, the CD included is quite helpful as well, since it provides chapter highlights in PowerPoint, practice quizzes and homeworks, tutorials and samples for Excel, and the "MegaStat" add-on for the Excel program, which enables users to fully utilize Excel's ability to perform statistical calculations. Good purchase overall at the used purchase price, not sure if the case would be the same at the retail price, just make sure that the text includes the CD.
