The best customer feedback 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Book by Kyle Schneider medium Statistics Statistics for Management and Economics Keller book is just a statistical average of a book. It's a little less dry than most, but the material does not jump off the page and maintain student interest. It is very academic and its application to real world situations, thus it is written, is minimal. If this book does a good job in explaining how to use Excel. Teachers need good statistics to engage students with this book. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. My favorite book of statistics I have a statistical AJF half dozen books, but this is the one I go to a clear explanation of the topic with excellent examples. The addresses of Excel and Minitab, and offer views with examples is an advantage. For me, this is the book The statistics is essential. 0 of 0 people found this review helpful. A book of the "ok", not the best for ddm329 I just this book for my pre-req course in statistics, some of the simplest examples were easy to understand, but there are times when certain concepts were not represented with examples, making it easier to understand concepts wish I had a better book for the course, maybe my class wouldve been better. oh well!
