A muddled mess,
By Joseph Boone (Irvine, CA United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (2008 HOLIDAY TEAM) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Statistical Thinking for Managers (Business Statistical S.) (Hardcover)
It's hard to believe that a Wharton professor produced this book but I guess it's just proof that no school is perfect. I'm sure the authors understand statistical analysis but they have no clue how to organize the material or communicate what they know effectively. Honestly, even if you have learned the concepts for a chapter through another source this book can be hard to follow. Want an example of the murky text? Try this typical run-on sentence quoted directly from the book. "In the same way, the normal random variable is an abstraction, because in theory any numerical value, negative as well as positive, is possible, and the probability histogram is a smooth, symmetric, bell-shaped curve." Try stringing together 800 pages of similar prose and you have an idea what awaits you here. I watched an entire class including the professor disown this book because it was useless. Do yourself a favor and avoid this turkey if at all possible.

Poor, Even for a Statistics Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Statistical Thinking for Managers (Business Statistical S.) (Hardcover)
I found this book to be poorly organized and poorly written. Within the chapters, the authors jump around between problems, text, definitions, etc. The text was poorly written and unhelpful from a layman's point of view. I found the book unhelpful for learning statistics, and wouldn't recommend it.

The Worst Book on the Planet,
By Amy (Norman, Oklahoma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Statistical Thinking for Managers (Business Statistical S.) (Hardcover)
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!This by far the worst book I have come accross in my life. I am a mechanical engineer taking statistics for my MBA. Fortunately I have a very good intstructor so I dont even use the book. Its worthless. Seems like the author is talking to himself.
