Review
"Weiers definitely is the best. The shorter chapter sections are the right length for our students. The author writes in clear and lucid prose, and is not "over their heads." This is the best book (out of five total) I have used in my fourteen years of teaching undergraduate statistics for business majors."
"Overall, I like the quantity and quality of the exercises. I think this is the real strength of this textbook. Good coverage of basic statistics; chapters are well-written and easy to read/understand; great exercises."
"I like the manner in which the material is introduced and explained through both the text and illustrations..."
"The book is well-written and easy to read. The graphics and illustrations are excellent. The learning objectives, opening chapter vignettes, statistics in action, and cases are excellent."
"Weiers has done a good job of supporting the text with a plentiful number of business related problems. There also seems to be a good mix of problems that can be solved by hand and those that require a computer." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Probably more than you will need,
By Steve Grey "Steve Grey" (Bahamas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Business Statistics (with CD-ROM) (Hardcover)
The college I teach in replaced this book with another, widely accepted book with a simiar name. This was two years ago, and yet the instructors still keep this book to use for examples, and we would like it back as the book of choice. It stands head and shoulders above most of the competition.
My students are mainly business majors, not mathematicians, and this book is 100% suited to this type of application. The examples are 'real world' that actually explain where a particular concept or distribution may be used. In essence-this book covers everything you'll need and then some... If I DO have a couple of 'moans' about the book, it gets a bit too 'in depth' in some areas, way more than the average business student would ever need, and also the CD, which is a bit of a waste of time, dealing with data files for Excel and Minitab. There are no 'REAL' learning tools. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn the subject at their own pace. It's expensive, and the prior versions contain about the same stuff, just in a cheaper package. There have been no real 'breakthroughs' in Stats in the last few decades, so the subject matter is pretty much unchanged. As the adage goes "You pays yer money and takes yer choice"- a few 'dog-eared' pages won't kill you!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great and useful as a used book.,

This review is from: Introduction to Business Statistics (Hardcover)
The used text book was in good condition and arrived with good packaging delivery. It did the job intended in learning and proved very useful to me in navigating Statistics information for small business and class assignments. It worked best with the plug-ins provided by our University and look forward to going into a 2010 text for more updates.

This review is from: Introduction to Business Statistics (Hardcover)
The structure of this book makes it fairly easy to page through and find what you need. It's easy to use and built for business majors (math-free). That said, I think it's too bad they didn't drop some of the different tests that most people will never use and spend more time explaining the concepts and math behind the tests.
