If understanding statistics isn't your strongest suit, you are not especially mathematically-inclined, or if you are wary of computers, this is the right book for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcel is an effective learning tool for quantitative analyses in biological and life sciences courses. Its powerful computational ability and graphical functions make learning statistics much easier than in years past. However, \u003ci\u003eExcel 2016 for Biological and Life Sciences Statistics: A Guide to Solving Practical Problems\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to capitalize on these improvements by teaching students and managers how to apply Excel 2016 to statistical techniques necessary in their courses and work.\u003c\/p\u003eEach chapter explains statistical formulas and directs the reader to use Excel commands to solve specific, easy-to-understand biological and life science problems. Practice problems are provided at the end of each chapter with their solutions in an appendix. Separately, there is a full Practice Test (with answers in an Appendix) that allows readers to test what they have learned.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 164 illustrations in color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for undergraduates or graduate students\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProf. Tom Quirk\u003c\/b\u003e spent six years in educational research at The American Institutes for Research and Educational Testing Service.
