Good book, arived quickly

This book arrived very quickly, like about 4- 5 days after I ordered it. I ordered a used book and it was in good condition. There are some writing with in the pages, but again it is a used book. There are no pages torn or missing and the CD was attached to the inside front cover is in good condition. Overall, I am happy with this product and am very amazed on how fast the book arrived after it was ordered.

FAST DELIVERY

I brought this book into the semester, and I am so grateful for the fast delivery & the book was in great condition!!!

Well written stat book

I had to get this book for a graduate level class. This is a well written book. I am coming to the conclusion that a text book needs to be in color to emphasize content or examples. This is very helpful in this book which is math laden. You will only need to know basic algebra (if that) for this material. Some higher math may help you. There are a lot of examples that show how to use the formulas. Much of which is "plug & chug" to get an answer. The concepts are well explained and there are good real-world examples. There are plenty of solutions in the back of the book. The examples also include graphs to show how the data sets are presented. There are plenty of reference tables for t, f, z and chi values. The CD that came with mine has a stat analysis add-on for Excel. It was called Megastat. I liked it better than the Excel data analysis tool. The CD had a lot of data sets to play with as well. If you can put information into a spreadsheet, you can use this book to help build an understanding of the analysis output. This is a good foundation book for statistical analysis.

Review of Basic Statistics

This is a well written and illustrated text book that describes the working of statistics. Definitions are placed in boxs within the text so the defination of a term is where you read the uses of the term. Review questions are also place within the text so the question follows the definition and explation of the statitistical information being taught. The book also uses web sites for information and examples, software programs such as Excel, to add to the learning experience. Included is a CD with power point lessons, and sample quizes.
