Doing Statistics for Business with Excel : Data, Inference, and Decision Making

Rating:
Summary: Avoid!
Review: Horrible book! I purchased this oversized book for one of my MBA classes and it provided little value. The assignments level of complexity was far greater than examples in book so I found myself reading help files for hours and hours. I was also questioning myself many times because of all the errors. Shame on Wiley for wasting trees.

Summary: Excellent Book for those who are not Mathematically Inclined
Review: I used this book for an undergrad economic stats course. The book is not based on technical concepts, that is to say, not all about the numbers. The book uses storylines to explain the statistics concepts. The exercises are helpful as well. One thing to note though, the text uses minitab extensively in the regression chapters etc when the book came with "kaddstat" for excel. Overall, I would say this book is best for those who do not enjoy reading technical mathematics (focusing on forumulas, etc). This book is more for those who are always asking "why am I learning this"..."what is the real world application of this stuff? "
