As we find errors, we'll list them on this page by chapter. If there is an error in a solution file for some problem, we will try to indicate a way to fix the error without "giving away" the solution to students who might be reading this page.
Note: The date of the correction is shown in parentheses.

(12/17/2020) There is a small error in the solution to problem 3.55. The pivot table for 2009 on the last sheet is currently filtered by whether the teams made the 2004 playoffs. It should be filtered on whether they made the 2009 playoffs. Easy to fix.

(12/8/2020) The problem file, P06_59.xlsx doesn’t match the statement of problem 6.59 or the solution file (which is correct). It should have its rows and columns reversed, so that actuals are along the side, indications are along the top.
