Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The idea behind this book is excellent, covering the practical aspects of statistics (and some management science) required in business. However, the text is riddled with errors and the explanation of the underlying concepts leaves much to be desired. The only thing that prevented me from rating it 1 star is the useful guides on solving problems within Excel and its add-ins, albeit that old versions of the software are used. There are much better books available.
