4-0 out of 5 stars Lied about attached CD-rom
the book I purchased was suppose to have an attached CD-rom specified in the description

"1 of Statistics for Business and Economics, 10th Edition (with Student CD-ROM)"

they however sent me one without one

im very discouraged

the shipping was however pretty fast, although I made sure to order this book from within the state of florida, where i live.

eventually They did actually send me what i had purchased

so i have changed my rating to 4 star

they gave me what i bought from them
thank you

Excellent service and the book is in great condition as was stated on Amazon.

Thank you very much.

2-0 out of 5 stars Very difficult to comprehend
I've noticed that the majority of reviews of this textbook only address issues related to shipment and the condition of the book upon arrival.But what about content?It's awful.Really.Who wants a math book that reads like a textbook.I've taken a few algebra classes this year and this is my first stats class.The algebra books contained multitudes of clear examples with step by step instructions.This book has long, complicated text-only paragraphs that you have to re-read multiple times and then they fail to provide many (there are a few, but very lacking)illustrated examples of HOW to arrive at the answer.This sort of book needs to be supplemented by other methods of information (classroom, tutors, Internet) to be really useful.Of course, some of us can't rely on our teachers to help, as the quality of professors varies about as much as textbooks!!It CANNOT stand on its own most of the time. Very hard to grasp.Two thumbs down.

5-0 out of 5 stars Applied Statistics
This is a very informative and useful text. The CDRom was a pleasant suprise with everything you could want just a click away. I viewed the book online, but I prefer to have the actual book in hand. When I received the book, I was encouraged to sit down and read it even more. This is a must have for anyone who wants to learn about statistics.

5-0 out of 5 stars good condition
This book was in very good condition with very little writing and no high lighting! It also contained the cd's that came w/ the book which was great.

4-0 out of 5 stars quick delivery, condition exactly as described
This book arrived quickly (within one week, standard shipping) and the seller informed me through mail when the product had been shipped.I found that very helpful.THe condition of the book was also very good,but there was some writing/markings on some of the pages.However, it wasn't enough that I was distracted or bothered by it.

3-0 out of 5 stars Decision Science
My Prof really likes this book and has used previous editions too.My opinion - so far so good. In my limited review of the book the examples are good and the language is not technical.This course/book is part of my graduate studies in biology.The book is primarily business focused but with a profs help it is totally applicable to scientific data evaluation.Otherwise, it is approaching week 4 of 12 in my class and we haven't really relied on the book. My only real comment is to check with your campus bookstore/professor and see if it is supposed to come with a student version of Minitab (the software associated with the text).My online order did not come with Minitab, which I need for my stats course.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good buy
Purchased this book used not new, for $73.99 from a private dealer on Amazon. I would have to say that the text is easy to understand, lots of material (lots) included and covered, the CD included is quite helpful as well, since it provides chapter highlights in PowerPoint, practice quizzes and homeworks, tutorials and samples for Excel, and the "MegaStat" add-on for the Excel program, which enables users to fully utilize Excel's ability to perform statistical calculations. Good purchase overall at the used purchase price, not sure if the case would be the same at the retail price, just make sure that the text includes the CD. ... Read more

The strength of this book has been its unerring accuracy and statistical precision. The role of computers and statistical software has been thoroughly integrated throughout.This edition focuses on maintaining the statistical integrity of past editions while modernizing the book by integrating the use of statistical software, adding new examples and exercises (many with real data), and an emphasis on data analysis and interpretation of output. The fifth edition features both Excel and Minitab. Earlier introduction of key topics includes: introduction of statistical thinking (Ch. 1), introduction of processes and systems (Ch. 1), and coverage of bivariate data, scatter plots, regression, covariance, and correlation (Ch. 3). ...

4-0 out of 5 stars Lower cost, little difference
So two things for buyers: The 6th edition is out and your professor likely is trying to get you to buy that one.Second even if the condition is marked as new by a seller on v5, most books are missing the CD-Rom when it reaches here. I haven't found a need for this disk, but the mislabeling by vendors is ANNOYING! The book isn't too bad and has little difference to the 6th edition (the 6th divides the chapters and concepts more), good class notes and a good list of formulas can help greatly.For the formulas Google for "CBS Semester 1 David Juran Statistics" if you can.I also would tell faculty to forget the added costs of v6 and the insanity of special print additions as this book used is plentiful, cheap and has really nothing horribly wrong. You know, use statistics and economics to figure out what is better for students?

1-0 out of 5 stars A very confusing book
I really have to warn everybody of this book!This book confuses me.This is the prescribed text for my first year subject.Maybe I am not senior enough to give comment on this book.Everytime I read this book, it confuses me somemore!If you have a choice, don't buy this book.If you are really serious in studying and not just buying an expensive book for display, don't ever buy this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Statistics for Business and Economics
This book is fairly comprehensive covering all the major topics that a student would need for the statistics modules in various business courses. Managers need to have an understanding of statistics so that they are able to manipulate the numerous masses of data that come their way into meaningful and useful information that they can employ in making business decisions.

The author presented the material in the book in a simple and clear manner without any complicated algebra, making it readable by students in business schools with a basic knowledge of mathematics. The author also provided large numbers of examples and exercises that should assist the reader in consolidating his/her understanding of the concepts described in the book.

Most managers are consumers rather than producers of statistical information. This book equips the reader with the expertise to enable one to be an informed consumer who knows the right questions to ask and the kind of information to request from those who produce the statistical information in the organization.



1-0 out of 5 stars Definitely leaf through it before deciding to buy
I'm an MBA student in a top5 business school in the US, and we use this as our textbook for the basic stats course. I've only read the first 5 chapters so far, and I've found this book to be one of the worst textbooks I've seen since college. Some very simple concepts are explained in very confused (and confusing) language, the text is very arid and skips over most of the conceptual subtleties or fallacies that the unsuspecting user of statistical data may easily fall victim to. I strongly suggest leafing through it before deciding whether to buy it (you can start with chapter 2, which is pretty typical of the tone of the book and, being the 1st "substantial" chapter of the book, doesn't assume knowledge of concepts defined in previous chapters).

5-0 out of 5 stars Rock-solid textbook for non-math majors
I used this book for my MBA statistics class recently. This book is very well written in a clear way, not meant to be fancy but to provide a comprehensive coverage of most, if not all, relevant topics. I also belive that the coverage depth of each topic is adequate enough to satisfy all common business and economics applications. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
For a one- or two-term course in business statistics. This best-selling introduction stresses the development of statistical thinking - the assessment of credibility and value of the inferences made from data - by both those who consume and those who produce the information. The authors emphasize inference; data collection and analysis are covered extensively, as needed, to evaluate the reported results of statistical studies and to make good business decisions. Numerous case studies, examples, and exercises draw on real business situations and recent economic events. Assumes a background in basic algebra. The text incorporates the following American Statistical Association (ASA) guidelines developed from both the Making Statistics More Effective in Schools of Business (MSMESB) conferences and Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) Project: *Students are most effectively motivated by seeing statistics at work in real applications, problems, cases, and projects. *Students should be provided with the opportunity to work with real data and make use of technology for statistical computations.*Formal training in probability needs to be downplayed in favor of intuitive concepts of probability. *We need to reduce our emphasis on formal theory of statistics and increase emphasis on applications. ...

2-0 out of 5 stars Needlessly complex
I had to buy this book for Business Statistics, and some of the homework problems are poorly written. One particular example is when the book asks for the "percentile ranking for the age of 25 years in the distribution of all ages of licensed drivers stopped by the police." All they wanted you to do was take the full 100 percent and subtract it by the number they give you, but the way they word it makes it seem like you need magic powers to divide the percentage of people stopped based on their ages.

My professor said having the last two chapters on the CD is done to save printing costs. I dread to think of how expensive this book would be (at the actual college bookstore) if the last two chapters were included in the book.

The books, delivery and time to reach destination were all excellent. I would recommend this seller for any buyer. Keep it up!

4-0 out of 5 stars Good explanations and excercises.
For a non-calculus statistics book this is an easy way to grasp the basic concepts.I am using this with an inexpensive statistics course taught by paper correspondence method from the USDA Graduate School.To augment it, I am using an older edition of Devore, Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences.

4-0 out of 5 stars OK so far...
Received this book secondhand, has lots of highlighting and writing, sometimes so much that I can't really read what the textbook says.

I've only read the first three chapters of this book and so far it seems like a fairly well organized book; there are questions after each section, but most of the content of the book so far is examples. I would say it is a decent book for an introductory course because it does not delve into too many details about all the formulas.

3-0 out of 5 stars It's dry, but it's statistics, so what can you expect...
The content is dry!If you work through the problems at the end of the chapters, it helps in understanding the concepts and to determine when and where to use the concepts.

4-0 out of 5 stars Average Stats Book
The Statistics for Management and Economics book from Keller is just an average stats book. It's slightly less dry than most but the material doesn't jump off the page and hold students interest. It's highly academic and it's application to real world situations, for which is written, is minimal. Where this book does a good job is in explaining how to use excel. You need good stats professors to engage student with this book.

Seems like a good book. However one thing that put me off is the number of typos. Almost every chapter has 2 or 3 typos. And not just spelling errors - incorrect formulas and reference to the wrong tables/figures etc. I have never seen so many typos in a test book.
Can be very confusing.
Overall a decent intro to Statistics from a business point of view.

5-0 out of 5 stars A useful book
This is a very useful book for my study. I use it to learn a lot of knowledge. you may try it.

5-0 out of 5 stars Stunningly excellent book on basic statistics.
I've taken various probability/statistics classes as an undergrad at VA Tech, and as a grad student at GMU and MIT. This book is without question the best I have seen - by a long shot. Further, it provides the only thorough and rigorous explanation for hypothesis testing I have ever seen.

The theory and end of chapter exercises are as straightforward, clear and concise as you will get. The only manner by which this book could be improved would be by the inclusion of a rigorous proof as to why considerations regarding the degrees of freedom (dof) require that some equations have /n as a denominator while others have /(n-1).

2-0 out of 5 stars Confusing, disjointed and too expensive in my opinion.
I teach Statistics for a living, and this book replaced the book by Weiers, a move that I have berated the folks that do our purchasing ever since. The other Stats lecturer felt the same, and we have ended up using old copies of the prior book.
For example, the book gives a miserly single page to explain Quartiles, and has very little in the way of examples that are helpful.
If you HAVE to have it because your school dictates, you have to have it, but if you want to buy a book for the purpose of teaching yourself Stats, look elsewhere. ... Read more

I ordered this book for a class this semester, it wasn't until the book arrived that I realized that they had sent me the Instructor's Edition. Which was highly inconvenient because the page numbers are different making following along in class nearly impossible. What bothered me most was the deception though, on every part of the book that said it was the Instructors Edition, a sticker had been placed saying "quality used books". I don't think I would have been as mad had the seller not gone out of their way to hide the fact that they were sending me the wrong edition of the book. I'm not even going to be able to sell the book back to my school now, because they too will consider it the wrong edition. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Very helpful
It has many helpful examples and it makes the subject easy to learn. I didn't read most of the text though. I mainly liked it for it's clear and well explained examples.

3-0 out of 5 stars Didn't use at all
bought this book for a statistics economics class. however, we didn't use the book at all besides the inside cover of the page, which was a chart to determine probability. i tried reading this book to help me through that class, but i also did not find it of much use either. the descriptions were somewhat vague in my opinion and there were not enough examples for me to understand the concepts.

5-0 out of 5 stars Intro to stats review
The item arrived in a timely fashion and in the condition that it was described in.Overall, this was a good transaction and I would recommend the seller.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best Introduction to statistics ever
I've been a statistician for over 10 years now. I am also a part time teacher in statistics at different Universities. This book should be an example of how to present and explain some complex issues with simplicity and efficiency. Every new concept is first dicussed and explained by some example before introducing the math formulas. One of the rare book always on my desk.

5-0 out of 5 stars NEW SECTIONS ARE REALLY USEFUL
I have done masters degree in MATHEMATICS with statistics optional and have done some management courses also. Here I am a PROFESSOR in a COLLEGE where students do B.SC. from LONDON university under EXTERNAL PROGRAM. One of the subjects I teach is "Elements of statistics". we prepared from this book,new sections were written in very simple way with technical examples and with graphs. My students last year got the DISTINCTION in this subject and this year I am also expecting DISTINCTION again from students. So I wanted to contact the auther and compliment the person. Finally as a teacher I would recommend strongly this book for the students of BSC. for "Elements of Statistics". this is a must read for the said subject. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars very logical and helpful textbook

1-0 out of 5 stars Not an audio book!!!
I found this item by searching "Audio Books"It says it is an Audio CD. I wanted something to listen to in the car.

The one I was shipped was a CD-ROM which was the free CD-ROM to accompany a text book.It will not play in a cd player so I don't see that it qualifies as an "Audio CD" much less an "audio book".

The seller agreed to refund 80% of the purchase price and no postage or handling.

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.

4-0 out of 5 stars Very good, but...
I used this book as a supplement to a crash course in Statistics for Graduate School. It is very good, but it can be a little skimpy on complete explaination of all the variables in an equation.

One good feature of the text is that the next chapter builds on the previous. The complexity of the various statistical equations grows gradually.This is helpful in may respects, but the writer(s) assume that the reader has an EXCEPTIONAL memory and can readily recall details from 1, 2, or 3 chapters back which apply to the current text. I found myself going back and re-reading previous chapters to get a handle on the chapter I was actualy reading.

Overall, the book is good but on one should try to use it as their sole book on business statistics.

5-0 out of 5 stars The best stats book for a non-stats person
I manage a group of people who are incredibly skilled in data modeling and business statistics.I purchased this book as a refresher and reference - and was very happy with it.It discusses key statistical issues in simple terms - giving you the tools to handle yourself in any discussion.

I still use it as reference at work. Highly recommendable for business people interested in Statistics and with no much background in Math (just make sure you know how to add) ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Good idea, but the quiz answers should be correct
I'm not too far into this book, and I am learning from it, but I found it very disconcerting that for the first two chapters, most of the quiz answers were just wrong.

The book would say something, the quiz repeated that language, but that was not the right answer.

Yes, you can get a corrected quiz answer sheet on the web.

However, authors have to approve the final gallies before they go to press. These authors had the chance to make sure the quiz answers were correct, and they didn't.

I'm not sure how much I can trust their information, and I'm going to find another book to make sure I pass the class I'm taking.

5-0 out of 5 stars Business Statistics is demystified
Business Statistics Demystified makes use of analogies that helps in clearly getting the points across about the topics given in the book.It makes sure that the reader understands the points by using different analogies over and over again.It even includes an appendix that gives information on using basic math necessary for statistics along with further explanations on the topic of levels of measurements.This saves the trouble of having to rely on a whole lot of different resources for mathematical concepts used in statistics.The quizzes that focus on the chapters and the exams that focus on several chapters combined help to narrow down what is most important in learning this subject so that the reader does not get too overwhelmed with all the information.It features side bar notes throughout the book; here you will find important terms and definitions.The book explains the essentials in how to apply statistical studies to help in making important business decisions and what type of graph to use when preparing a report.The book is like a textbook written in an informal fashion which makes it easy enough to understand and it is worth every dollar spent.You cannot go wrong. ...
