2.0 out of 5 stars Statistics for Managers, February 4, 2009

By	C. J. ROBERTS "CJR" (GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book is very confusing. There is a lot of information the book does not explain how to access. For example , some exercises refer to PH grade assist. This is not described in the book. I never found it. I barely have time to study the contents of the chapters, much less how the book works. In addition, breakdown of equations are also confusing. I had to refer to a previous statistic book from a pre-grad course I took for better explanations.

3.0 out of 5 stars Statistics sections are good, but the Excel Companion sections are too wordy, September 18, 2008

By	Kattamuri S. Sarma (White Plains, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Statistics material presented in this book is good. But the Excel Companion sections are too wordy. The instructions for using Excel should have been written as bullet points.
The following items are not clear:
(1) Exporting a pivot table as an independent worksheet
(2) Creating new columns from a pivot table.

This is an excellent book for Managers or anyone studying statistics.Excel 2007 is being used extensively here which is a requirement for all stats students. There are some documentation errors or bugs with the calculations but they are minore. I hope the authors will rectify them in the next version.
