Customer Reviews

Fast Delivery

I was very impressed with the delivery time of the book - it arrived before the estimated delivery date. The book also arrived in excellent condition as described in the ad. I will definitely patronize this seller again.

excellent condition

I didn't realize that this was the instructors' edition, but that's OK. It is in almost new condition just as advertised. A good book.

Used in MBA program - Intro to Stats

I did not have much statistics background while in undergrad or through my job experiences and found this book to be quite easy to understand. The problems at the end of the chapters were quite useful in that they seemed applicable to the real world. I thought the most useful section was on regression so if you are interested in learning about that topic, this textbook is quite useful.

Totally unnecessary

After buying the seventh and the eighth edition of Statistics for Business and Economics. The two are pretty much the same. So, save your money, and fight back the publishing company by not purchasing this book.

Excellent text for Advanced Placement statistics course

I was a member of the text selection committee that chose this book for our school division's advanced placement statistics course. It was a wise decision. The text is filled with contemporary examples that grab a student's attention. It is particularly good at using technology both in the exercises and in the discussion. My students were very comfortable with the reading level, and DID READ the text! I especially liked the project suggestions at the end of each chapter. The text's one weakness is the discussion and placement of the linear regression material. I needed a simpler approach and to do it much earlier in the course (after chapter 2). I had to supplement with material from other sources. However, this is a rather minor complaint compared to the text's many other strengths.
