4.0 out of 5 stars Good supplementary text for introductory statistics course, June 21, 2000

By 

Shane Johnson - See all my reviews

This review is from: Data Analysis Using Microsoft Excel: Updated for Office 97 (Paperback)

This book allows the reader to access the data analysis power of Microsoft Excel 97. It covers all of the functions located in the Data Analysis add-in for Excel (Tools Menu). Examples are explicit, step-by-step, and business related. Little previous knowledge of Excel required- there are 2 chapters dealing with the basics of using the program. This is not a stand-alone text, however, and should accompany a comprehensive introductory statistics text for those with no previous statistics experience.

This review is from: Data Analysis Using Microsoft Excel: Updated for Office 97 (Paperback)

Doing statistical analysis with Excel can be cumbersome if you don't have a good reference handy. This book has it all: Getting started with Excel, working with data / charts, describing your data, probability distributions, statistical inference, regression and correlation, multiple regression, analysis of variance, time series, and quality control. Many concept tutorials which can be done with the disk illustrate the principles explained in the book.
