The Complete Idiot's Guide to Business Statistics

Summary: Terrible!!!! Don't waste your $$$$
Review: I bought the book in preparation for a collegiate stats class. The content wasn't neither accurate enough, complete enough, or well written enough to be of any benefit.

It is almost impossible for me to put into words how awful this book was. How can you learn statistics when the examples are wrong? You spend hours pondering the equations, only to realize they are errors from the author.

The author should either stick to topics they know, or stop churning these books out so fast that the quality resembles rotten eggs.

This was a rare book that inspired enough anger to write such a disparaging review.

Summary: Too many Errors
Review: In preparation for business school I thought I'd brush up on my stats. But this book is making things even more confusing because of all the errors. Graphs are misplaced, calculations are off, and equations are wrong in way too many places. I wonder how this was ever published with so many mistakes.

Summary: True Outlier
Review: This book was, without question, the worst math oriented book I have had the mispleasure of buying or reading. As mention in other reviews, the calculations are often off leading a reader who is reading for the purpose of developing concepts to waste substantial amounts of time. Since time is, among other things, money, this book is way to expensive, even if you were given your copy of it.
