"I am happy to report that your text is getting rave reviews from my students. I knew that they would love this book." -John Bird, West Virginia State University
"The quality control chapter that you added worked out just perfectly. For the first time ever, a number of my students actually read the chapter and completed the homework assignment before I even completed my lecture on the subject--because your chapter was the perfect complement for my coverage of Quality and SPC. Thanks again." -Gretchen Donahue, University of Minnesota
"I love your even-numbered solutions. They really explain things for my students. I know it takes a long time to write solutions like these for homework assignments, but I think students learn the subject much
better from seeing such complete answers to questions with which they're actively engaged." -Margaret Niehaus, Gordon College (Mass.)
"Thanks for writing such a great book." -William Duff, University of Northern Colorado

Print: $39.95 (2nd EDITION now available at lulu.com/content/4776279) This is a student-oriented text introducing the elements of basic business statistics. Topics range from descriptive statistics to multiple regression and one-way analysis of variance. Reviewers have described the book as “engaging” and the writing as “wonderfully direct.”
"The writing style," reports one reviewer, "is thoroughly discursive, even chatty, and I think students will find it terrific. Very accessible. The writing definitely is this book’s glory. It is certainly more interesting and more engaging than Anderson, Sweeney and Williams. And the anecdotes hit just the right dry, witty tone."
Another reviewer writes, "This book has a different feel to it. When your read (it), it feels you are in the position of a student learning along with the professor. The author has the gift of being able to make complex things sound simple, or at least understandable." (For more, visit www.coventry-collegiate.com)
