5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Textbook,
This review is from: Essentials of Statistics for Business and Economics (with CD-ROM) (Hardcover)
This is a great textbook. One of the best i have used. It gives exercise problems after each topic and the questions are directly related to the topic it just explained. The explainations are great. Clear but with no extra rambling to make the textbook longer and to make the authors seem more scholarly. It really helped me, especially when i didnt quite understand the lecture from the professor. Overall a really great textbook.

This review is from: Essentials of Statistics for Business and Economics (with CD-ROM) (Hardcover)
Great Text! I purchased this for a graduate level statistics course, and I had concerns because its been 30 years since I cracked a statistics text. It starts with the basics and build quickly to more advanced work. Perfect for my needs.

This review is from: Essentials of Statistics for Business and Economics (with CD-ROM) (Hardcover)
The condition of the book was good.. I did note there was some writing in the book, which was not the case before. I also noted there was some highlighting.. In all cases, this was a good thing.. I appreciated the formulas (writing), and the highlighted areas.. The purchase of the book, and the CD with different Excel spreadsheets, was a very positive experience.. As Arnold has said, "I'll be back..."
