Understanding Business Statistics 2nd Edition
We're pleased to announce that the second edition of Understanding Business Statistics, Ned Freed's highly regarded introduction to modern business statistics, has been updated. This edition (ISBN 978-0-615-32936-9) now includes EXCEL 2010 instructions for all the end-of-chapter EXCEL exercises. Beyond this modest adjustment, the text--including page numbers and exercises-- is unchanged. As in the original edition, the writing is excellent--clear, conversational, and supportive--and the author's unique approach succeeds in de-mystifying statistics, even for students who are not wholly confident in their math skills.
Reviewers have described Understanding Business Statistics as "engaging" and the writing as "wonderfully direct." "The writing style," reports one reviewer, "is thoroughly discursive, even chatty, and I think students will find it terrific. Very accessible. The writing definitely is this book's glory. It is certainly more interesting and more engaging than Anderson, Sweeney and Williams. And the anecdotes hit just the right dry, witty tone."
Adopters have been equally enthusiastic:
"I am happy to report that your text is getting rave reviews from my students. I knew that they would love this book." -John Bird, West Virginia State University
"The quality control chapter that you added worked out just perfectly. For the first time ever, a number of my students actually read the chapter and completed the homework assignment before I even completed my lecture on the subject--because your chapter was the perfect complement for my coverage of Quality and SPC. Thanks again." -Gretchen Donahue, University of Minnesota
"I love your even-numbered solutions. They really explain things for my students. I know it takes a long time to write solutions like these for homework assignments, but I think students learn the subject much better from seeing such complete answers to questions with which they're actively engaged." -Margaret Niehaus, Gordon College (Mass.)
"Thanks for writing such a great book." -William Duff, University of Northern Colorado
