YOU CAN COUNT ON BUSINESS STATISTICS DEMYSTIFIED!

With Business Statistics Demystified, you master the subject one simple step at a time -- at your own speed. This unique self-teaching guide offers quizzes at the end of each chapter, an exam for each section, as well as handy hints and tips to help you master terminology, concepts, and equations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Business Statistics is demystified, January 29, 2006
By Clark Aaron Miller (Wilmington, DE USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Business Statistics Demystified makes use of analogies that helps in clearly getting the points across about the topics given in the book. It makes sure that the reader understands the points by using different analogies over and over again. It even includes an appendix that gives information on using basic math necessary for statistics along with further explanations on the topic of levels of measurements. This saves the trouble of having to rely on a whole lot of different resources for mathematical concepts used in statistics. The quizzes that focus on the chapters and the exams that focus on several chapters combined help to narrow down what is most important in learning this subject so that the reader does not get too overwhelmed with all the information. It features side bar notes throughout the book; here you will find important terms and definitions. The book explains the essentials in how to apply statistical studies to help in making important business decisions and what type of graph to use when preparing a report. The book is like a textbook written in an informal fashion which makes it easy enough to understand and it is worth every dollar spent. You cannot go wrong.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good idea, but the quiz answers should be correct, July 29, 2007
I'm not too far into this book, and I am learning from it, but I found it very disconcerting that for the first two chapters, most of the quiz answers were just wrong.

The book would say something, the quiz repeated that language, but that was not the right answer.

Yes, you can get a corrected quiz answer sheet on the web.

However, authors have to approve the final gallies before they go to press. These authors had the chance to make sure the quiz answers were correct, and they didn't.

I'm not sure how much I can trust their information, and I'm going to find another book to make sure I pass the class I'm taking.
