Elementary Statistics Using Excel, Second Edition

Rating:
Summary: Terrible book
Review: This book is a farce! This book is terrible! The author doesn't go straight to the point when presenting his information, and the excersices he presents doesn't match the examples he provides(and the examples are far too few and his words are puff with little relevent content). I guess he wants the institution or individual to purchase the separate 'Solutions Manual' so he'll get bigger profits.

Maybe if you're an engineering student, this book will be a piece of cake since you already have a strong math background. But if you have to endure this book, make sure that your instructor knows how to teach, you know - really decipher the information and make it very deliverable to you as a student. If your instructor doesn't know how to do this and tries to teach it to you as if you had a degree in engineering, just withdraw from the class....you're instructor is a egotistical farce as well..

What ever happened to teachers who REALLY want to teach?

If you want to learn statistics on your own, buy the book "Statistics for the Utterly Confused" by Lloyd Jaisingh, Ph.D. He delivers the content fairly well. Also, go to tutoring if your campus provides it.
