This is the first book to show the
capabilities of Microsoft Excel to teach engineering statistics
effectively. It is a step-by-step exercise-driven guide for students
and practitioners who need to master Excel to solve practical
engineering 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
engineering courses. Its powerful computational ability and graphical
functions make learning statistics much easier than in years past.
However, Excel 2013 for Engineering 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 engineering 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.
