"This Microsoft Excel version of this bestelling text presents an often intimidating and difficult subject in a way that is clear, informative, and personable. Students appreciate the book's unhurried pace and thorough, friendly presentation using a step-by-step approach to explaining each statistic and its procedure in Excel. Opening with an introduction to Excel, including coverage of how to use functions and formulas, this text shows students how to install and use the Excel Data Analysis Tools option to access a host of useful analytical techniques. The book walks readers through various statistical procedures, beginning with simple descriptive statistics, correlations, and graphical representations of data, and ending with inferential techniques, analysis of variance, and a final chapter on working with large datasets and data mining using Excel. New to the Fifth Edition is new co-author Bruce Frey who has added a new feature on statisticians throughout history (with a focus on the contributions of women and people of color). He has updated the "Real-World Stats" feature, and added more on effect sizes, updated the discussions on hypotheses, measurement concepts like validity and reliability, and has more closely tied analytical choices to the level of measurement of variables. A website is available for the book with resources for instructors and students"--
