Not Excel nor this book. This manual achieves two goals: teaching graduate-level hypothesis testing statistical frameworks in an easy-to-understand, real-world, practical way and then showing how to implement all of it in Excel. Hypothesis tests are the most widely-used statistical tests in business. This manual will make you an Excel Statistical Master of hypothesis testing.
