Synopsis

A mainstream text appropriate for both the undergraduate and MBA levels, for either the one- or two-term introductory business statistics course. Comprehensive coverage with a conversational writing style to make the text less intimidating to the student. Fully integrates the use of computers with statistics, yet can still be used by those desiring a more traditional calculator-based approach. This edition stresses data analysis, asking students to interpret statistical results and make decisions based on them.
