Overall I think it's a pretty decent textbook content wise. It could be organized a bit better. One shouldn't have to turn back 5 pages to review referenced illustrations and tables. Also the Excel appendicies steps should be revisited. I had to use YouTube for thorough step by step instructions. This was an overall issue with my classmates as well and I pointed them to the Youtube site and they found the instructions there much easier to follow for the assigned tasks.

This text is great but the CD that comes with it does not load the PHStat onto my computer. Don't know why though.

This book is okay, but it could definitely be better. For a basic statistics class, this book contains WAY too much information to digest in a semester of college. No professor I know of has ever gotten past chapter 8. Further, the problems are quite wimpy as far as the amount of thought required for them. Quite wimpy. Could be better. The only good thing is that for doing it on a spreadsheet, the data comes on a CD, so that you don't have to re-type it, thankfully.

I needed this book for professor ScaliaTomba's class at LUISS University. This is a very good book. It contains all charts in the end pages, and it is very well organized.
It covers all the basics, however it does not go very deep into any of the topics. It is not an advanced book, but it is more than enough for a basic business statistics class. It can also be used for a quantitative methods class.

My book came on time and in perfect condition. It also came with the CD attached too. I even called the company to ask about the status of my order and they were incredibly nice.

Product arrived in a timely manner. Was not in condition described, definitely "used" but it did contain the CD/DVD needed. Overall happy with purchase

The description didn't specify what edition. Thought this was the 11th edition by the date, but when it showed up - 9th edition. Will not use this site for textbooks again. MUST SPECIFY EDITION!

Perfectly written, full with examples and figures. Very helpful for my post-graduate studies in Athens,Greece.

I paid about 25% less than the college bookstore. The book is in excellent condition and it arrived in about 10 days.

my book is very good ,just like a new book,and inside is very clean,and the front cover is very good,and I used it one month ago,so if you buy this book,you will very happy.
