Synopsis

This value-priced, abbreviated edition of Keller and Warrack's "Statistics for Management and Economics" offers students all the features that have made the original book a best-seller. The authors systematically teach students what statisticians do--solve problems--focusing on the relationship between the type of problem, the type of data involved, and the appropriate technique. The book includes Data Analysis Plus statistical add-ins for Excel, and shows students how to select among dozens of available statistical methods to find the most appropriate one for analyzing a given set of data. Realistic applications and the use of statistical software and spreadsheets motivate and show them how statistics is relevant to their future careers. Each in-text example utilizes the authors' effective problem-solving approach: 1) identify the appropriate techniques; 2) solve the problem (by hand, with Minitab, with Excel); and 3) interpret results (What does the solution mean in the context of the problem?).

"This book is a breath of fresh air in the teaching of statistics to non-statistician, and could teach us a lot about teaching statisticians!"
