Both authors are from public health schools. One is from Amherst, MA. Go Umass! This does make studying statistics more interesting. One can easily adapt the sampling design and methods to marketing surveys that are required of MBA students.
 Easy to Read But too many Errors April 10, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is very practical. It is easy to get along as all the formulas are summarized in a nice way.
However, I am very disappointed because I found a lot of errors in the book. I can't believe I am reading a third edition book with such many errors. Most of the errors are typos. But some of the errors are even in the formulas. That means if you follow these wrong formulas, you get wrong answer!
I will report the major errors I found here:
(1)P147 The first two equations are for "Total" (Not "Mean"), the second two equations are for "Mean" (Not "Total").
(2)P149 The first equation, on the left handside, it should be "SE_hat(X_str')" not (SE_hat(X_str_bar)).
(3)P149 The third equations, under square root, there should be a summation from h=1 to L.
(4)P170 equation 6.20. The right most term should be "((N-N_h)/N)", not ((N-n_h)/N).
I havent finished the book yet. I will keep posting the errors as I read along.
 A review, solely about the text. April 13, 2004
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
I am a Ph.D. student in public health (epidemiology), and I already have a Ph.D. in the behavioral sciences. I will sign my name, unlike the other writer. Rather than solely talk about the issues of the text, the student complains about the administration of the course in question.
I found the text to be readable and useful. My findings concur with the practitioner and other reviewers in Columbus, OH. I found the use of the solutions manual to be helpful in my understanding of the material.
The complaints voiced by the "stats student" are best ignored. I was in that course section, and those comments are not relevant to the worth of the text.
A Practitioner's Resource July 1, 2000
Levy and Lemeshow's text provides practitioners with precise formulas and terrific insights into alternative sampling methods. The exercises at the end of the chapters are particularly useful.
Clear and to the point. January 27, 2000
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
The best thing about this book is that it summarizes all the equations in boxes throughout the book. Therefore you don't have to hunt down the equations you need, unlike with many other statistics books. The book's explanations are clear and to the point, and therefore makes a great desk reference.The one sole downside to this text is its price. $90 is a bit steep for this small light weight volume.
