5 stars (This is one of the best business statistics book) - This book is used in the course of Business Statistics at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. This is a useful and understandable book. The questions are well-prepared.Also,the statistics program PhSTAT is given with this book. I advise you to buy. 2 stars (Good, but could be better) - This book is okay, but it could definitely be better. For a basic statistics class, this book contains WAY too much information to digest in a semester of college. No professor I know of has ever gotten past chapter 8. Further, the problems are quite wimpy as far as the amount of thought required for them. Quite wimpy. Could be better. The only good thing is that for doing it on a spreadsheet, the data comes on a CD, so that you don't have to re-type it, thankfully. ...

4 stars (good book with good cases) - Very good text book with very useful and practical real cases, which make the boring theory interesting. I think it is very useful for my job and daily life. 4 stars (Effective text for students and anyone wanting to brush up) - This is a very readable and useable text for undergraduates, business students, and general readers who want to learn or brush-up on basic statistics. There is a tremendous amount of information in its 1200 pages, but it is well laid out, amply illustrated, with lots of practical work. The answers to the odd numbered questions are provided in the back to aid self-study. There are several appendices that provide important tables and the methods for calculating important statistical formulas. The index is also quite helpful. I think the book has a good balance of the technical with the practical. It is easy on the eyes and though statistics necessitates the use of a significant amount of math, it is well explained and never overwhelms the reader. ...

1 stars (A book for graduates--Not undergrads) - After the first week of our class falling behind, my professor mentioned to our class that this book was the wrong format for undergrads. So this book is only good as the teacher and the students. It's easy to read, but hard to understand. And, the CD-ROM was not user-friendly enough, but had an awesome integration into MS Excel. I aced all of my math classes in college (undergrad), but this class...I'm not gonna to ace. But if you aced all math classes and you're using this book for a grad class, then go for it. Otherwise, find another book. 5 stars (Great Book) - I had one of the worst instructors on the planet this semester. I literally had to teach myself this entire course. This book made it so much easier. Great diagrams, simple explanations. I ended up with an A. 4 stars (Easy to follow) - This book is easy to follow and the included cd makes solving the problems easy. It also has online links for each chapter. ...

2 stars (Too much theory) - Relevant material is buried underneath too much theory. Not enough examples. I bought this book to supplement another book to and I had to buy another one to supplement this one. 5 stars (Great book) - Probably one of the most elegantly written book that I have ever read. I am not sure probability and statistics can be introduced with a greater degree of clarity while mainitaining mathematical rigor. Absolutely beautiful flow and crisp results. 1 stars (Terrible book) - As a starter, coming from a non-mathematics background, I will recommend something else. The book goes to advanced topics pretty quickly, leaving a lot to comprehend. ...

5 stars (Thank you!) - Wonderful transaction, and got it in about a week...thank you-the book is in good condition. 5 stars (The best intro/intermediate statistics textbook available) - This book is the best introductory to intermediate statistics textbook currently available.The authors do an excellent job of explaining how to go about doing statistics.The example problems are throughly worked out for the beginning student.All the steps needed to solve the various kinds of problems that a student will encounter in a statistics course are included.The notation used in the formulas is clear and straightforward.The treatment of p-values and multiple regression analysis is the best exposition to be found among current introductory/intermediate texts .I have taught 4-5,000 students statistics at the introductory,intermediate,and graduate level.I highly recommend this book for anyone taking an introductory to intermediate level course in statistics. 1 stars (statistical techniques in business and ecomomics) - Yes my name is Courtney Jackson. I order this book and it stated that it would have a cd with the book but when I received the book it was not a cd in the book. So what do I need to do. I received the book from John Dood, P.O.Box 1405, Snellville, Ga 30078. So I really need a cd for my book if not I am going to send the whole book back. ...

3 stars (Not the best book on the subject and the price......) - I teach Stats 201 (Introduction to Business Statistics) and for years I used the textbook by Wiers, which I feel is the best in it's field. After numerous obsrvations by my colleagues in the department, we hope that will be going back to the previous author's book after the current stock of this one runs out. I find this book to be confusing, and it tends to jump around a lot rather than give a structured look at the process of learning Statistics. It pays little or no attention to the use of random numbers and the terminology is confusing. Perhaps the biggest drawback with this book is the price- almost 150 bucks for a textbook is outrageous. Buy the previous edition used- the difference is minimal, the price difference is significant. Better still- buy the book on the same subject by Wiers. Don't just take my word- compare the two....it's just my opinion. 5 stars (Best text of first year MBA) - Statistics is a mind-numbing subject. It's not easy, and not particularly exciting, either. This book doesn't exactly bring loads of fun to the subject, but it explains concepts well, provides pertinent examples, and offers plenty of useful practice problems. The authors and publishers have paid particularly close attention to detail, ensuring, for instance, that all diagrams are on the same page as the concepts they elucidate. This may be a small thing to some, but I find it tiresome that with so many texts you are forced continually to flip back and forth from diagrams on one page to pertinent information on another. I have a background in the Humanities and before the MBA stats course had not completed a math course since high school -- 20 years ago! (48th percentile quant GMAT!) My head was swimming after the first couple of lectures, but I sat down with this text, read it carefully, worked through ALL the problems, and received an A in the course. So far, I know of no other person that earned ...
