    Summary note
    "This book is structured around illustrative examples that are demonstrated with Excel displays. Filled with step-by-step discussions of how statistical problems are solved using Excel, it contains a wealth of exercises addressing the material covered in each section. Many of the book's exercises include the replication of examples so that the student has an immediate reference with which to compare his or her work and determine whether or not the procedure was carried out correctly. Additional exercises are provided for further practice to reinforce the valuable lessons learned. This comprehensive volume on statistics for health care administration and health policy offers students and professionals a much-needed resource."--BOOK JACKET.
