Rating: - Statistics for Utterly Confused
Sorry--Purchased this for my husband as statistics is a part of his business class. I am not able to rate the book from a personal stand point. I believe it has been a help for him, though.

Rating: - VERY HELPFUL BOOK!
I had to take a college Statistics 2 class and this book was much easier to understand than the textbook. This book became attached to me during the class. For anyone having to take a statistics class (even high school level), I highly recommend getting this book to have as a reference guide. The book even shows you how to do the formulas in excel to get the answers needed to questions!

Rating: - Okay reference. Too many errors.
This book is structured more like a reference than a text. As such, it will be helpful as a second reference source to an actual text book to help clarify concepts. There are many better books out there for instruction.

Rating: - This book will utterly confuse you
Do yourself a favor and avoid this book. The book does not explain, it only documents, with heavy and unnecessary use of terminology. If you want to learn and understand, get Bartz's "Basic Statistical Concepts," an excellent book in it's 4th edition.

Rating: - If you are looking for practical instruction skip this book
If you are studying for the GMAT or a similar test, this book might be helpful. However, if you are struggling with a problem and need practical advice on what test to use and how to perform it, pass this book by. I bought this book in part because it said on the cover that it would tell you how to use Excel for statistic. Forget that unless you think being told "this can be done on Excel" is how-to instructions.
