1) Product Description
Lind/Marchal/Wathen: STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES IN BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS, 12/e is a market best seller due to the comprehensive coverage of statistical tools and methods delivered in a student friendly, step-by-step format. The text is non-threatening and presents concepts clearly and succinctly with a conversational writing style. All statistical concepts are illustrated with solved applied examples immediately upon introduction. Modern computing tools and applications are introduced, though the text maintains a focus on presenting statistitcs concepts as applied in business as opposed to technology or programming methods. The twelfth edition continues as a ‘students’ text with increased emphasis on interpretation of data and results.

Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5

1) A good book but with too many mistakes   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I have been using a few editions of this book in the last few years and I am going to use it again soon but the 12th edition had too many mistakes. Later I saw the corrections for the mistakes on the book's site but even the corrections had a few mistakes.

2) Great Book   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I used this text in my MBA stats class and have found it to be very informative and useful. I found the examples for Excel and Minitab to be well written and of great use. I would recommend this book for anyone who uses statistics on a frequent basis or simply would like a good reference manual in their library.

3) 12th ed. has problems   [Rating: 1 out of 5]
The 12th edition of this book contains a surprising number of errors. I am currently using this book for a statistics course in an MBA program. We are twelve chapters into the book now and in most every chapter I have found a mistake; more often than not there are multiple mistakes. What is worse is that the majority of the mistakes are in the practice problems which are where the student learns to apply the skills. This serves to create confusion and frustration on the student's part. Some of the mistakes are sloppy editing while others more significant are providing wrong information. The editors need to take another look at this book and the authors should also take note.

4) Statistical Techniques in Business and Economics with CD-Rom   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
The book I received did not have the cd the book was in used condition not good as stated. It was ok. It would have been nice to have the cd. It needs to be a little more detailed.

5) Good not Great   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
This was an ok buy...first of all it was already quite used and therefore not really worth much.....it was the correct item I ordered and it came in a timely fashion. Overall about 3.5 stars.
