Too much emphasis on StatTools ... The techniques should be emphasized with Excel, since that's the tool that most managers have access to -- StatTools is not typically available.

[Textbook] The textbook walks through an encyclopedia of common data analysis tasks and problems with step-by-step training on the accompanying tools to simplify the work. The Excel plug-in tools that accompany the book are good for 2 years.

The text is clearly written to those with a background in statistical math. While my coursework made use of the concepts to apply them, I can't claim to thoroughly understand the numeracy presented on its pages. In the end, I feel a different book might have better suited the course.

This is my statistics text book. Very useful, so far as having concrete examples with the excel steps to use to find the calculations. Not the most thrilling, but I think there's more that I can use with this in the future for work. Yup, I'm that much of a nerd.
