Lind/Marchal/Wathen: BASIC STATISTICS FOR BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS, Seventh edition is a derivative of the best-selling STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES IN BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS, offering the essential topics of statistical tools and methods delivered in a student friendly, step-by-step format. The text is non-threatening and presents concepts clearly and succinctly with a conversational writing style. All statistical concepts are illustrated with solved applied examples immediately upon introduction. Modern computing tools and applications are introduced, but the text maintains a focus on presenting statistics content as opposed to technology or programming methods, and the seventh edition continues as a “students” text with increased emphasis on interpretation of data and results.

False Advertising,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Basic Statistics for Business and Economics with Formula Card (The Mcgraw-Hill/Irwin Series Operations and Decision Sciences) (Hardcover)
I ordered this book for a class this semester, it wasn't until the book arrived that I realized that they had sent me the Instructor's Edition. Which was highly inconvenient because the page numbers are different making following along in class nearly impossible. What bothered me most was the deception though, on every part of the book that said it was the Instructors Edition, a sticker had been placed saying "quality used books". I don't think I would have been as mad had the seller not gone out of their way to hide the fact that they were sending me the wrong edition of the book. I'm not even going to be able to sell the book back to my school now, because they too will consider it the wrong edition.
