Editorial Review:
This new text offers an Excel-focused approach to using statistics in business. All statistical concepts are illustrated with applied examples immediately upon introduction. Modern computing tools and applications are introduced, and the text maintains a strong focus on presenting statistical concepts as applied using Excel, enhanced by MegaStat, the Excel add-in created by the author and used as a standard for all McGraw-Hill/Irwin "Business Statistics" textbooks. The text enables students to take full advantage of Excel to develop and drive problem-solving skills. As a one-color paperback, it is also a competitive low-cost alternative to most of the higher-priced books in the market. Cached date: AWS Called=true You may also be interested in these products:
Oh dear. 2007-02-24 This book is probably great for people who have a mathematical or scientific background, but the way concepts are communicated does not make much sense to people like me who are new to statistics and has not really picked up a math book since high school. A typical sentence that you are supposed to just read and go "oh yeah!" goes like this: "In discussing ANOVA, SSX becomes SSTotal... (followed by a formula)... where Xij is the ith observation in the jth group...". All clear. Thanks for that.
The CD tutorials sound like they were done while on Valium and Prof. Orris was sick to death of doing them over and over. Also, the tutorials are not compatible with a Mac so you will need access to a Windows PC.
To be avoided if you have the choice.
CAn't stand this book!!! The author is so blah in his tutorials he bores the computer to death 2006-08-28 It's very hard to learn the basics with this book, I did better reading from two other books. But for Megastat you are forced to listen to the authors horrible drab voice, he sooooo needs to pay someone else to do these voice overs. Listening to umms and ahhs not only lengthens the study time but he sounds utterly bored with the material and confused. He could say "I won a million dollars" and still sounds as it was the most dull thing to happen on the planet. I hope your teacher doesn't choose this book.
