than 3,000 students I have taught at Webster University’s campuses in St Louis, London, and Vienna; the students at Principia College in Elsah, Illinois; and the students at the Cooperative State University of Baden-Wuerttemburg in Heidenheim, Germany These students taught me a great deal about the art of teaching I salute them all, and I thank them for helping me to become a better teacher Thomas J Quirk Preface Excel 2016 for Engineering Statistics: A Guide to Solving Practical Problems is intended for anyone looking to learn the basics of applying Excel’s powerful statistical tools to their engineering courses or work activities If understanding statistics isn’t your strongest suit, you are not especially mathematically inclined, or if you are wary of computers, then this is the right book for you Here you’ll learn how to use key statistical tests using Excel without being overpowered by the underlying statistical theory This book clearly and methodically shows and explains how to create and use these statistical tests to solve practical problems in the engineering sciences Excel is an easily available computer program for students, instructors, and managers It is also an effective teaching and learning tool for quantitative analyses in engineering courses The powerful numerical computational ability and the graphical functions available in Excel make learning statistics much easier than in years past However, this is the first book to show Excel’s capabilities to more effectively teach engineering statistics; it also focuses exclusively on this topic in an effort to render the subject matter not only applicable and practical but also easy to comprehend and apply Unique features of this book: • You will be told each step of the way, not only how to use Excel but also why you are doing each step so that you can understand what you are doing and not merely learn how to use statistical tests by rote • Includes specific objectives embedded in the text for each concept, so you can know the purpose of the Excel steps • Includes 162 color screenshots so that you can be sure you are performing the Excel steps correctly • This book is a tool that can be used either by itself or along with any good statistics book • Practical examples and problems are taken from the engineering sciences vii viii Preface • Statistical theory and formulas are explained in clear language without bogging you down in mathematical fine points • You will learn both how to write statistical formulas using Excel and how to use Excel’s drop-down menus that will create the formulas for you • This book does not come with a CD of Excel files which you can upload to your computer Instead, you’ll be shown how to create each Excel file yourself In a work situation, your colleagues will not give you an Excel file; you will be expected to create your own This book will give you ample practice in developing this important skill • Each chapter presents the steps needed to solve a practical engineering problem using Excel In addition, there are three practice problems at the end of each chapter so you can test your new knowledge of statistics The answers to these problems appear in Appendix A • A “Practice Test” is given in Appendix B to test your knowledge at the end of the book The answers to these practical engineering science problems appear in Appendix C This book is appropriate for use in any course in engineering statistics (at both undergraduate and graduate levels) as well as for managers who want to improve the usefulness of their Excel skills St Louis, MO Thomas J Quirk Acknowledgments Excel 2016 for Engineering Statistics: A Guide to Solving Practical Problems is the result of inspiration from three important people: my two daughters and my wife Jennifer Quirk McLaughlin invited me to visit her M.B.A classes several times at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa These visits to a first-rate M.B.A program convinced me there was a need for a book to teach students how to solve practical problems using Excel Meghan Quirk-Horton’s dogged dedication to learning the many statistical techniques needed to complete her Ph.D dissertation illustrated the need for a statistics book that would make this daunting task more user-friendly And Lynne Buckley-Quirk was the number one cheerleader for this project from the beginning, always encouraging me and helping me remain dedicated to completing it Marc Strauss, our editor at Springer, caught the spirit of this idea in our first phone conversation and guided this book through the idea stages until it reached its final form His encouragement and support, along with Christine Crigler’s shepherding of this book through production, were vital to this book seeing the light of day We thank them both for being such outstanding product champions throughout this process Thomas J Quirk ix Appendices Appendix C: Answers to Practice Test Practice Test Answer: Chapter
