Reviews


One of the best Business Statistics books in the market
This is probably one of the best business (read: practitioner oriented) statistics books in the market. While covering a broad range of topics taking the reader from (introductory) descriptive statistics to (rather advanced) inferential statistics (hypothesis testing, etc.), it does so in a manner very easy to understand. This is not to say that you do not have to work your way: this is not a statistics cookbook but a solid reference to the "hows" and "whys" of statistics. Make sure you work along and you'll pretty soon have a very good grasp of the essentials.

nothing special
Usual stats book, organized similarly to others. It incorporates use of excel templates via the chapters, problems and CD. Some are useful but some are cumbersome and the author puts too much emphasis on them as a tool. Some give an incorrect output. Found an error in a basic formula in the text, this should be corrected.
Overall is an average stats book and overpriced for its value.

Paid for new book and doesnt seem like new
Hi there,

I paid around $ 140 for this book and i was expecting this to be a brand new book. I received this book today and looking along the top on every page, they look a bit discoloured.

Either this book is new and it was left in unclean surrounding OR this book is not new.

I am not being fussy about this book, this book is readable, it is just that after paying that kind of money for a book i was personally expect it to be brand new. The feel and smell of a new book is different, if you know what i mean.


I dont know how it works here on Amazon, but this is the first time, i was a little dissappointed especially when i was looking forward so much for this book.

Name of the book is - Complete business statistics by Amir D Aczel.


"He wrote the book."
Dr. Jayavel Sounderpandian is my current professor at UW-Parkside for Business Statistics II (QM 211). He is an excellent instructor, and his book mirrors this.

In class, we always joke about how "he wrote the book."

I really didnt have a choice...
This was a text book for my class, so I really did not have a choice. There was alot of jibberjabbering exmaples. I am a start to the point person who like theory then applications, but this books places stuff all oevr the place.
I gave it three stars, since I have seen dmuch worse texts on Stats.
