 Keeping it Simple August 11, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The layout of the book is simple, straightforward, and easy to follow. The editors included lots of "white space" which a book of this nature requires ... it keeps you from feeling overwhelmed. The interactive nature of the exercises and the explanations and diagrams are nicely organized. The book itself is very light and easy to carry around. Overall, I found it to be very accessible, and I would recommend it to others as a great resource.
 Buy only if you already know statistics March 3, 2000

I had hoped this book would explain the statistical techniques themselves before jumping into how to use Excel, which is all it really does. If you already know statistics (which I did not) and don't know Excel (which I did) this will help. If the reverse is true, keep looking.
 First-class piece of work. May 7, 1999

From a reviewer: I teach mathematics/statistics in the Education dept at Liverpool John Moores University, England. I have been asked by the publication 'Teaching Statistics' to review your recent book on Statistics with Excel. I would like to congratulate you on this first class piece of work. I have felt for some time that the profession is too hung up with the usefulness of dedicated stats packages. Too often I believe, statistics departments believe that the costlier the package, then the better it is. Untrue!
 Not as good as I hoped it would be. January 12, 1999
10 out of 14 found this review helpful
I read this book, hoping to recommend it to my stat students. The exercises and examples were easy to follow, _but_ there was not enough explanation of the examples that were given. For example, rather than just show how to do an analysis of probability, I wished for more of the "nuts and bolts" of the analysis. I was disappointed. Even though the price of this book is relatively low, I would not recommend this to beginning students of statistics. The front section on using Excel seemed OK, but I didn't pay attention to it, as it was not needed for my classes.
