Applied Statistics in Business and Economics [with Student CD-ROM]

by David P. Doane, Lori E. Seward

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 in business --as opposed to providing programming methods used to find a mathematical solution. Interpretation is heavily emphasized, enabling students to take full advantage of Excel to develop and drive problem-solving skills.

Super boring

[Elchin Jafarov · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have tought statistics course for business students with this book as the core reading, and my verdict is the book is written good, but the examples and applied exercises are very elementary. More advanced and closer to real-life examples and excercises would be significant improvement. Also, question bank is not updated regularly. Otherwise good core book for those who learn applied statistics, and have low math background.

The book itself is probably better than the interactive version. I'm rating based on McGraw Hill.

The highlights were on point for definitions, but consistently left out important formulas. The book as a whole consistently left out the exact Excel formulas after the first two or three chapters.

I ended up learning via Google more than I did from this book.
