This book about using a widely available spreadsheet program for basic statistics can be used as a course supplement or as a standalone text. Topics covered include those commonly taught in a first course (or two-course sequence) in basic descriptive and inferential statistics. Although the text makes repeated use of certain datasets, each chapter serves as a standalone module, so instructors can skip the topics they do not wish to cover.

Larry A. Pace, Ph.D., is an award-winning professor of statistics, management, and psychology. He is currently a professor of psychology in the College of Undergraduate Studies at Argosy University Online, where he teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in statistics and quantitative research methods.
