This book shows the capabilities of Microsoft Excel in teaching
business statistics effectively. Similar to the previously
published Excel 2010 for Business Statistics, this book is a
step-by-step exercise-driven guide for students and practitioners
who need to master Excel to solve practical business problems. If
understanding statistics isn't your strongest suit, you are not
especially mathematically-inclined, or if you are wary of
computers, this is the right book for you. Excel, a widely
available computer program for students and managers, is also an
effective teaching and learning tool for quantitative analyses in
business courses. Its powerful computational ability and graphical
functions make learning statistics much easier than in years past.
However, Excel 2016 for Business Statistics: A Guide to Solving
Practical Problems is the first book to capitalize on these
improvements by teaching students and managers how to apply Excel
to statistical techniques necessary in their courses and work. Each
chapter explains statistical formulas and directs the reader to use
Excel commands to solve specific, easy-to-understand business
problems. Practice problems are provided at the end of each chapter
with their solutions in an appendix. Separately, there is a full
Practice Test (with answers in an Appendix) that allows readers to
test what they have learned.
This short instructional manual is not meant to be exhaustive guide
to Microsoft Excel. Rather, it acts as a compass, pointing readers
toward key concepts, terms, and commands needed to use Excel
effectively and navigate spreadsheets efficiently. It is geared
towards users of Excel 2013/365, but is also appropriate for Excel
2010. It also is not intended for a technical audience, but for the
beginner to intermediate user who is self-taught or struggling.
Explanations and examples are kept simple and straight-forward,
with ample illustrations and descriptions.
