I consider this one of the best reference textbooks out there. I got this book from a friend who believe will be very helpful in my daily activities. Sure, it is. This contains just the right topics that I need for my job in analyzing data in our factory and business, as well as some of my needs in my other endeavors outside of work. All without the excessive info overload the subject has to offer. The explanations were very well explained and fun. Its sample problems were very practical and relatable. Plus, it considers the use of software like Excel and Minitab, which are very much available in the industry. I keep this book just on my table and has been very useful.

The book gave great examples and the formulas were easy to find. I am done with it for this semester, but am using the second half of it next semester.
