Data Analysis with Microsoft® Excel: Updated for Offi ce 2007® harnesses
the power of Excel and transforms it into a tool for learning basic statistical
analysis. Students learn statistics in the context of analyzing data. We feel
that it is important for students to work with real data, analyzing real-world
problems, so that they understand the subtleties and complexities of analysis
that make statistics such an integral part of understanding our world.
The data set topics range from business examples to physiological studies
on NASA astronauts. Because students work with real data, they can appreciate
that in statistics no answers are completely fi nal and that intuition and
creativity are as much a part of data analysis as is plugging numbers into
a software package. This text can serve as the core text for an introductory
statistics course or as a supplemental text. It also allows nontraditional students
outside of the classroom setting to teach themselves how to use Excel
to analyze sets of real data so they can make informed business forecasts
and decisions.
Users of this book need not have any experience with Excel, although
previous experience would be helpful. The fi rst three chapters of the book
cover basic concepts of mouse and Windows operation, data entry, formulas
and functions, charts, and editing and saving workbooks. Chapters 4 through
12 emphasize teaching statistics with Excel as the instrument.
This popular best-selling book shows students and professionals how to do data analysis with Microsoft Excel. DATA ANALYSIS WITH MICROSOFT EXCEL teaches the fundamental concepts of statistics and how to use Microsoft Excel to solve the kind of data-intensive problems that arise in business and elsewhere. Even students with no previous experience using spreadsheets will find that this text's step-by-step approach, extensive tutorials, and examples make it easy to learn how to use Excel for analyzing data. A downloadable StatPlus™ add-in for Microsoft Excel, data sets for exercises, and interactive concept tutorials are available on the Book Companion Website. |
