Résumé

This new edition provides a brief introduction to business statistics that balances a conceptual understanding of statistics with the real-world application of statistical methodology. The latest version of Microsoft Excel is integrated throughout the text, showing step-by-step instructions and screen captures to enhance learning. The authors have been writing market-leading business statistics textbooks for over 20 years. This new edition contains the same learning features that have made ASW products best-sellers for years; features such as the problem-scenario approach, and real-world examples that introduce statistical techniques.

Benefits:

• Authorship: Authors are well known, highly regarded and respected in the field.
• NEW! Updated Content: Trendlines are introduced in the discussion of scatter diagrams (Chapter 2).
• NEW! Expanded Content: More material on graphical and tabular descriptive statistics (Chapter 2).
• NEW! Enhanced Treatment: An earlier discussion of the term margin of error and additional information on when to use z and when to use t for interval estimation and hypothesis testing (Chapters 8 though 11).
• NEW! Redesigned Worksheets: Many worksheets have been redesigned to facilitate their use as templates for similar problems (Chapters 8 through 11).
• NEW! Stronger Emphasis: More emphasis on computing and interpreting p-values (Chapter 9 through 11).
• NEW! New Chapter: A new chapter on multiple regression (Chapter 13) has been added.
• Complete Integration of Microsoft Excel Coverage: This edition uses the latest version of Microsoft Excel to perform statistical analyses. Step-by-step instructions and screen captures are included throughout the text.
• Problem-Scenario Approach: The discussion and development of each technique is presented in an application setting, with the statistical results providing insights to decisions and solutions to problems.
• Fantastic Examples and Exercises: The authors have always been known for their excellent problems. More real data examples and exercises have been added to this edition. The use of real data enables students to learn not only about statistical methodology, but also the application.
• Methods and Applications Exercises: The end-of-section exercises are split into these two problem categories. The "Methods" exercises require students to use the formulas and make the necessary computations. The "Applications" exercises require students to use the chapter material in real-world situations.
• Notes and Comments: This feature is designed to give the student additional insights about the statistical methodology and its application. The feature includes warnings or limitations about the statistical methodology, recommendations for application, and other matters.
• Self-Test Exercises: Completely worked-out solutions for certain exercises are provided in an appendix at the end of the book. Students can attempt the self-test exercises and immediately check the solution to evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented in each chapter.
• Chapter-Ending Computer Cases: Cases that emphasize managerial use and interpretation of statistics are included.
• NEW! Updated Content: An expanded discussion of levels of measurement for data can be found in Chapter 1.
