Statistics made easy

I don't think statistics can be made any easier. I had the 6th edition, but was fundamentally the same as the 7th edition. The examples were easy to follow along and I found that they helped me understand the process of solving problems in the book.

WORTH PRAISING

THIS HAD BEEN A PRESCRIBED TEXT BOOK FOR STATISTICS IN MY MBA. I REALLY LOVED READING THIS BOOK. ENJOYED SOLVING THE PROBLEMS. ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR ALL STATISTICS STUDENTS AND PROFESSORS TO OWN. ARUN

The best part of the book was the curve fitting algorithms

Listen Software Solutions: I found the book to be easy to understand and packed with alot of step by step illustrations. Using the samples and easy to follow instructions such as concepts like Least Square Approximation and Multiple Regression Model techniques, I felt comfortable in solving my trend analysis problems. The authors do not overwhelm the reader with advanced mathematical notation but instead provide an learn by example method to their teaching. After each chapter, a number of homework problems are available, for the the student to try. This is a great college textbook to learn business statistics from. I used the textbox to learn how to program MFC VC++ curve fitting alogrithms for a stock trends analysis algorithm. I must say the internet has a ton of material, however, this book provided me the clearest explanations and helped me gain the greatest understanding of my curve fitting solutions.
