What is the differences between 3rd and 4th edition

Hi All: I just brought the 3rd edition of this book and it is 940 pages. But I just noticed there is a 4th edition "Essentials of Modern Business Statistics " and it is only 716 pages. Why is the latest edition much smaller than older edition. Confused

college books on time!

The seller was very quick and the product came just as it stated, brand new. I recieved answered from the seller in a very very timely manner. They were very polite and helpful. I would use this seller again.

Affordable

The book was decent price.. and just as described. Would definitely recommend this seller. Thanks.

good explaination in the book

each chapter is well written, not dry to read, easy to understand. although they should probably write a new version using office 2007 excel.

The best intermediate to advanced statistics textbook

This textbook is the best intermediate to advanced statistics textbook currently available on the market today.The Excel instructions are self explanatory and include every step needed to apply a particular statistical procedure.The instructions for calculating joint probability tables and constructing tree diagrams are excellent and easy to follow.The example problems include all the steps.The notation used is simple,direct and straightforward.It will not cause any confusion for a student.The handling of p-values in hypothesis testing and multiple regression analysis is very well done.Based on my extensive teaching experience at the college and university level,I would highly recommend this book to a student, who is taking a statistics course that emphasizes applications, at the intermediate to advanced level.
