I purchased this book as a text for one of my classes, and I couldn't have been happier with my purchase from this seller. They offer very fast shipping, I received my book right on time for classes. I am looking forward to more titles that I need from this seller. Thank you very much for exceptional customer service!

This book does not help with understanding statistics. The examples are confusing and often point out a problem but never solve or resolve the problem. Don't buy this book!
Excellent Undergraduate-Level Stats/Excel Book November 1, 2003

This textbook combines good readability and yet is also relatively detailed. Statistics For Managers Using Excel 3E is well organized, with plenty of examples that make understanding the concepts easy. The problems at the end of the Chapter are excellent at drilling the concepts in student's heads, and the companion CD is also useful. I will agree with the reviewers that mentioned the errors. There ARE some errors in this book, but overall compared to most other texts there are NOT a lot of them relatively speaking. Overall, an excellent textbook for students taking a beginning undergraduate level Stats course.
Blech - lots of errors, poor writing September 13, 2003

I'm only through chapter 3, but I've found * inconsistancies - not using the same term in the same manner; all through the chapter, it refers to class boundaries, but in the excersizes, they are called bins - you have to check out the solutions manual and figure out what they are asking for. * circular definitions - using the term in the definition of the term you are describing (ie, frumious = being frumious) * poor examples - when describing how to use an excel wizard to process data, it tells you to select E5:E12 - without describing what this range is supposed to be (bins? midpoints? data?) * incorrect answers in the solution manual (some are right, some are not) * PHStat does not function as specified in the book in all cases (ie, percentage polygons) Frankly, the book is a big waste of cash, and should not be selected as a book to be used for statistics classes - unfortunately, neither the students nor the profs at the school I'm attending had a choice. I'm having a hard time believing this is a THIRD edition, with all the errors. Either the authors or the publishers can screw up on a first edition, but it takes an effort for both to do it, much less three times. Too bad you can't give negative star reviews.
