Summary: Good supplementary text for introductory statistics course
Review: This book allows the reader to access the data analysis power of Microsoft Excel 97. It covers all of the functions located in the Data Analysis add-in for Excel (Tools Menu). Examples are explicit, step-by-step, and business related. Little previous knowledge of Excel required- there are 2 chapters dealing with the basics of using the program. This is not a stand-alone text, however, and should accompany a comprehensive introductory statistics text for those with no previous statistics experience.
