Data Analysis and Decision Making with Microsoft Excel (with CD-ROM, InfoTrac , and Decision Tools and Statistic Tools Suite)

By Rebecca Blakiston

In response to the growing market trend in quantitative education, Albright, Winston, and Zappe's integrated business-statistics and management-science text presents core statistics and management-science methods in a modern, unified spreadsheet-oriented approach. With a focus on analyzing, not on techniques, the book covers business statistics with some essential managerial-science topics included. The example-based, Excel spreadsheet approach is useful in courses that combine traditional statistics and management-science topics though can be easily used for a one-term business statistics only course. The modeling and application focus, together with the Excel spreadsheet add-ins, provides a complete learning source for both students and practicing managers.

Great used book

The book and cd's were in great shape as described (like new)! I will buy used books again in the future.

Great Buy

I was required to buy this text for a class but it has actually been very helpful. Some textbooks are diffucult to follow but this one has great examples. If I don't understand something in class, I just have to read over the chapter and it usually helps.

Perfect condition - good deal.

The textbook was brand new and I saved about $40. I received it on time and the transaction was easy.

No trouble with Excel

I find the text and software a useful set of tools. It assumes familiarity with basic statistics and Excel, and builds on them to develop a powerfull ability to analize data and make decisions from it. I experienced no trouble with the software install or operation.

Excellent MBA - level textbook and software.

Finally MBA probability/statistics course and MS Excel have been unified in one textbook. The accompanying software is great, especially Decision Tree (probably the only Excel-based software for decision making). Students like business-oriented excersises in the book. Highly recommended.
