USE EXCEL'S STATISTICAL TOOLS TO TRANSFORM YOUR DATA INTO
KNOWLEDGE
Nationally recognized Excel expert Conrad Carlberg shows you how to use
Excel 2016 to perform core statistical tasks every business
professional, student, and researcher should master. Using real-world
examples and downloadable workbooks, Carlberg helps you choose the right
technique for each problem and get the most out of Excel's statistical
features. Along the way, he clarifies confusing statistical terminology
and helps you avoid common mistakes.
You'll learn how to use correlation and regression, analyze variance and
covariance, and test statistical hypotheses using the normal, binomial,
t, and F distributions. To help you make accurate inferences based on
samples from a population, Carlberg offers insightful coverage of
crucial topics ranging from experimental design to the statistical power
of F tests. Updated for Excel 2016, this guide covers both modern
consistency functions and legacy compatibility functions.
Becoming an expert with Excel statistics has never been easier! In this
book, you'll find crystal-clear instructions, insider insights, and
complete step-by-step guidance.
