Introductory Statistics with Spreadsheets

Designed as an alternative to the "black box" approach taken by many statistics packages, Introductory Statistics with Spreadsheets teaches students how to use spreadsheets to perform basic statistical tests and analyses.

Students enter formulas and construct the analyses mechanism themselves, gaining a deeper understanding of how statistics formulas work—and how the outcome of an analysis is affected by the data being analyzed. For ease of use, Introductory Statistics with Spreadsheets follows the organization of a standard introductory statistics text. It contains numerous real-world problems and hands-on exploration exercises. The accompanying data/set disk lets students concentrate on statistics problem- solving rather than data entry.
